My life is arguably the best chronicled life on the web. I post my location on Brightkite (which updates Fireeagle, and Plazes accordingly) anytime I plan to be somewhere for any period of time. Whenever something interesting happens where I am, I take a photo and post it to Brightkite as well. If something's happening to me, or I feel the need to tell people what I'm thinking, I use Ping.fm to post a status update (which gets copied to Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, Plurk, Facebook, MySpace, Plaxo, and others) If I have something more substantial to say (like now) I post it to my blogs with Ping.fm as well which puts copies on Tumblr, Xanga, and Blogger. When I download photos from my camera I immediately post them to Flickr, sometimes even by email. When I find a site I like I bookmark it in Del.icio.us, and subscribe to it's feed in Google Reader that lets me share all the stories I want my friends to see. I Yelp businesses that I like, and add events I want to attend to Upcoming. I add things I want to buy to my Amazon wishlist, and mark good YouTube videos as favorites. Most all of this is aggregated by the lifestreaming apps I use like Soup.io, Friendfeed, Plaxo Pulse, and Suprglu.



In other words I use the social web to it's fullest. But I can't shake this hollow feeling that nobody's listening, because all of this isn't really of interest to anyone but me. A part of me has always know that to be true, as I don't really pay attention to anyone else's lifestream (unless I know them IRL), but I still wish that somehow all of this was constructive. There's so much data, and it's all so personal, local, and timely. There has to be a way to harness all of this monkey typewriter action to accomplish a goal that is less fleeting and selfish. Anyone have any ideas?
