“SmugMug and Twitter are Both Down Simultaneously. Not Clear If That's Related, Or Just Coincidence. Blog Post: http://is.gd/7WEu

I suspect it's a coincidence. Polyvore & FriendFeed both use S3 and neither site seems to be experiencing issues. - Jess Lee
that super duper fun eh :) Now they live one more time. Interesting too. - Ray Marr
Twitter back up - Bo Stern

In these Yahoo internal emails, the people are always talking about how they bleed -- it's like some kind of cult. - Paul Buchheit
Register.com reports that www.friendbleed.com is available, Paul. - Louis Gray

Lifestreaming is a part of a bigger trend: the death of static web pages. - Robert Scoble
Here's an interesting follow up to this from Tris Hussey I just came across http://www.trishussey.com/2008... - Mark Krynsky
Static web pages may be dying, but lifestreaming must be mined to generate relatively solid and interactive knowledge structures that span the entire Web. Otherwise it's all just babble and baubles. And that is why we need a robust Semantic Web. - Sean McBride
interesting post, but generally speaking (at least with the broader question) I'd say no. I actually think that we're due a backlash soon on putting everything out there. We will eventually get to the Ben Elton novel stage, but in cycles - Duncan Riley
Duncan - have you seen any backlash stories yet? Surely it's just a matter of time - Edd McArdle via twhirl
Really Duncan? Can you elaborate? I thought embarassing drunk photos on MySpace was about the worst backlash possible. I actually like this new era of transparency. - Mark Krynsky
Thanks for all the likes folks...but not many really feel like adding to the campfire eh? - Mark Krynsky
Not if all the services disappear. We'll all be updating our .plan files again. - l0ckergn0me
yes lifestreaming is the beginning of the next thing online - Mich D
Haha Chris .plan files that's a good one. Guess we'll have to start using Gopher again too. But you bring up a good point. These guys better figure out a monetization strategy soon. Ads or Freemium are fine by me. - Mark Krynsky
Sorry, gotta disagree - we're being blinded by the bleeding edge here. Most people still consume web content through conventional websites, and I suspect that's not going to change anytime soon. - GerryBot
is (mobile) lifestreaming not part of the trend which links online and offline life - jon bradford
I am finding I'm spending more time in places like Friendfeed, and less time actually blogging. As for static web sites - I do have one or two, but I'm moving more and more to blogging. One, even for a web designer, for my own needs (not talking about clients here) a blog is simply easier to set up, and two, it's much easier to update. - Ian May
Duncan, you may be right about public lifestreaming. I'm looking at the top 10 OurDoings users in terms of photos uploaded, and 7 out of 10 use only unlisted URLs. And of the remaining 3, the only one who puts out truly public content is me. - Bruce Lewis via fftogo
About the larger question, I really, really hope lifestreaming grows. I run OurDoings, which is real-life streaming with words and photos (as opposed to an aggregator). I think the biggest photo-sharing sites 5 years from now will be ones that are blog-like. I hope mine is one of them. - Bruce Lewis via fftogo
We we might see is an ability to see individual lives as a pattern and on top of that see societies as a pattern of interacting patterns. - todd
I wouldn't go so far as to call it the 'death' of static web pages. Seeing that a lot of old web things we have pronounced the death sentence on, still exist in one form or the other. - Vijayendra Mohanty
todd, do you think that can happen even if the individual lives we see are a totally non-random sample? - Bruce Lewis via fftogo
possible, since it can lead to more services being created to enhance the lifestream.. and to connect with others' lifestreams...for example, i thought yongfook's sweetcron was a good start for a personal lifestream, but that again's just the tip of the berg and there's scope for plenty more....lifeblob is another service, that allows bridging of different lifestreams... but all this might take quite sometime to become ubiquitous.. by then, we'd be having this discussion about web 4.0 on our lifestreams? :) - manuscrypts
GerryBot, my post was more about how the logic behind Lifestreaming (data aggregation) is playing a role in the next phase of the web. With Mint.com you have a vertical implementation of Lifestreaming with clear benefits added by analyzing the data. As far as users are concerned these _are_ conventional websites. - Mark Krynsky
Hm, interesting Bruce. Is there a bias? How large is the population? And what are the objectives of the study? In my thinking I'm looking to predicatively use similarities so I am not concerned about about making correct inferences outside the population. But as a general ethnographic mechanism it's definitely inadequate. - todd
todd, when you mentioned societies I thought you were talking about nation-scale societies. If you only want to look at online societies the bias problem is a lot smaller. - Bruce Lewis
Bruce, certainly global civilization is the goal as that will give the broadest life examples and the best opportunity to learn from those lives. - todd
@Krynsky Have you noticed that you are far and away the biggest Depeche Mode fan on Agglodex? http://www.agglodex.com/profil... - Jesse Hattabaugh
@Jesse, yea well the last 24 hours saw quite a bit of love for Depeche. Perhaps you need to tweak recency & frequency settings :) btw Agglodex is coming along nicely. - Mark Krynsky
Lifestreaming has become such a popular trend amongst the evolving web. - Amir H.
Remember the days when you had to update .log files? - Amir H.
Lifestreaming alongwith semantic web. Think real-time FF rooms - Varun Mahajan

Yahoo! still has the best programmed home page, if you're into that kind of thing. I am. I want to like iGoogle, but gives me too much freedom which leads to ugly clutter. - Jon Price
Yahoo has so much going for it. Flickr, Pipes, Jumpcut, Finance, MyBlogLog and more. They need to get better at their PR, but even so they have a great set of products. They just need to show them off. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
I was saying this a few weeks back, at the height of the yahoo bashing. That they are the #1 site/portal, have some very innovative products, and a far more open strategy, and that their main problem might be perception. People blame yahoo for not being google, not being #1 search or in micro ads... but they could blame google for having failed the portal wars and photo wars. All these investors bashing yahoo didnt even think that they use yahoo finance as one of their key pages... not google... - Joelle Nebbe
