Bloody hell, we are creating an awful of work for ourselves. The market in precious time will sort out what we continue to do and don’t do. Our personal accountants of the soul have not been in yet.

This is the kind of Truman Show-level mentalness we can all expect to get up to as bandwidth increases and technology prices fall. Exhausting? Yes. Tedious? Most of it, yes. Inevitable? Yes.

Also, kudos to Emily for dismissing something as ’so 2009′ just over halfway through the year!

@Olivier D. alias ze kat – Content on FF is well suited to search engines and sometimes appears higher (or at least just below) on Google rankings than on the original platform it was posted to.

The only problem is, I don’t know anyone who bothers to sit on FriendFeed all day to get their content as it’s “Lifewaterfalling” rather than Lifestreaming

I’m not sure what your stats are like generally, there are certainly plenty of comments on this post, but on the whole i think its agreed that the blogsphere is quite saturated and even quite big blogs like the microsofts blog pages, and even the likes of scobble etc are struggle to get audiences, let alone to get those audiences to leave comments. Obviously it depends on your subject as to how satuared things are, in know if i blog on running i can could get 30,000 hits a week in comparrison to if i blog on tech i’d be lucky to get 3,000.

The trend towards microblogging, twittering, life streaming call it what you will, is in part because you can get the same inpact with far less effort.

It also takes a lot less effort on behalf of the reader to read to keep up with all this data in the form of a shorter more regularly updated bulletins.

From my point of view, Its all a matter of context, different people blog and life stream for very different reasons, and its not that one is better that the other full stop, more that there are some subjects and some things that are better blogged and others better microblogged.

I tend to spend about 30-45 minutes on a blog post, so i might only do a couple a week if i’m lucky, but i come accross other interesting stuff that i might want to let my friends know about then i would tend to mention them on a microblog post.

The reasons for my blogging and micro blogging have changed quite a lot over time, to start with i just wanted to see how the software worked, then i found it useful to hone my writing style when i started writing for local press, at other times it was used in a ‘vent your spleen’ kind of way, to have a rant and get stuff out of my system, more recently its had more of a social context.

In the long term will any of this be remembered in history? I very much doubt it, there might be a footnote on the trends of the day, but very few individual streams will ever be remembered unless you become something of a cult icon, there are just far too many people blogging in one form or another…it would be like keeping every single letter posted in the 20th century.
