Laying Out Your Online Experience What do you think most people want when they turn to these social technologies? If we throw away the terms for a moment, here’s what I think they want: A Sign We need a way for people to find us. Having a blog and/or other web presence touchpoints (or outposts) is a good start. It’s an easy way for people to find you. A Friendly Place If your online presence is friendly, like a really clean and well-designed site, or if it has a place for you to relax and get acquainted, won’t that help the process of getting to know you? Networking Connections Building an online presence also gives you the chance to connect with people. Connecting is part of the whole social experience. A Storefront This is optional, but if one goal of your blog and your online presence is to sell something (even if that’s just YOU), make that clear. A People-Centric Mindset Good happy people (like Jim and Adrienne in the picture above) should really be the ultimate goal of your online experience. That All Said…
Editor e gravador de áudio livre How To Lifestream From Your iPhone Recently, we took a look at the growing trend involving lifestreaming and how more people are choosing to go this route instead of establishing a more traditional blog. But outside of certain celebrity lifestreamers like Julia Allison, the streams belonging to "regular folks" may serve more as a personal collection of content for your own reference instead of a site that's meant to draw traffic or readers. There's nothing wrong with that, though, and you don't need any special software to "lifestream" in this way either...all you need is a platform and an app. And there are at least a few apps from the iTunes app store that can help you get going. What's Lifestreaming? Before we look at apps and other solutions, let's try to nail down just what exactly is lifestreaming. There are people that argue that sites like FriendFeed are not, in fact, lifestreaming sites because "aggregation is not lifestreaming."

New Wordpress Theme Agregado Designed for Lifestreaming – September 15, 2008 Review , Software We’ve seen quite a bunch of WordPress plugins released this year for Lifestreaming which has been great. Now we are finally starting to see theme developers incorporate Lifestreaming into their designs.

Fine Tuna - Fine tune a design or image by adding feedback & comments dafont.com How to Create or Add Your Lifestream to Facebook There’s been plenty of talk, both positive and negative, about the new Facebook layout and design. One of the best changes in my biased opinion is the fact that they now offer the ability to create a Lifestream, and make it front and center on your profile. I personally have my largest group of friends IRL on Facebook so I have always wanted to take advantage of the ability to add a Lifestream to reach them there as opposed to forcing them to use my preferred networks. There have been several options based on services that offer apps (discussed later) but I’m happy they finally are realizing the adavantages of just incorporating it themselves. Prior to the new design they slowly had started adding functionality that offered the ability to import a few limited services. This was a nice start allowing people to slowly understand and start the process of creating a Lifestream.

So it seems lifestreaming is the new black. Tumblr For a recent episode of Read/WriteTalk Sean Ammirati sat down with David Karp, the founder of Tumblr.
