We have looked at 5 Social Aggregators and also looked at hosting your own lifestream using Sweetcron. Lifestreaming is getting increasingly popular these days, because we feel the need to consolidate all our footprints that we leave scattered all over the web. Some people still shy away from it because the word “Lifestreaming” looks intimidating and sounds complicated. In this article, let us see how simple it is to set up your lifestream in 3 easy steps using StoryTlr.
Why Lifestream?
There are different incentives for lifestreaming:
- Most people use lifestreaming to present a unified view of their online activities to their friends. Those who subscribe or view your lifestream do not need to visit different websites to see your pictures, writing, videos, etc. Your lifestream is your “Centralized Me” on the web.
- Lifestreaming is also a way to permanently backup your online data. Your tweets get archived automatically. Your photos get backed up, just in case. Your blog posts get backed up, in case your blog is hacked.
- Lifestreaming can be a way to maintain an active blog when you don’t always have time to write blog posts.
- Create “stories” about an event. Let’s say you went on a weekend trip during which you tweeted, uploaded a few photos to Flickr, and a video to YouTube. Your trip can be easily shared as a “story” without searching for the content on different sites.
- Some people use lifestreaming for personal recollection and memories. What did you do on the web on your last birthday or anniversary? Your lifestream will show it to you.
