Lifestreaming News & Articles

Here's a little Friday treat: Flavors.me. The service allows users to build personal websites by mashing up their identities from across the Web. 

As lifestreaming continues to grow in popularity, so do the ways in which it’s presented. Introducing one of the first players to take the sentimental route: thisMoment.

Is it about tweeting, blogging, flickring, youtube-ing and digging it – all in one interface?
