Lifestream Mapping

For a while now I have been considering how best make use of all of the incredible services available for Lifestreaming.  However, as I began to publish more, I realized that I was not only duplicating my efforts but also duplicating my content on various services.   This problem grew almost exponentially as I signed onto new services and I found myself spending far too much time managing each individually.    

While I still connect to many sites directly, Posterous is greatly simplifying the publishing of content to various services and is acting as a central location for much of that content.    To further organize myself in this Lifestreaming endeavor, I decided to map out my approach in Visio.

The primary goals in planning my Lifestream are:

  • Consolidate stream inputs
  • Reduce duplicates in the stream
  • Increase stream outputs

This is my first draft and I will constantly be reviewing it to find ways to incorporate more services with less effort.  Any thoughts?
