These days just about everyone around the internet knows about lifestreaming and may even have one of their own. This is due to the great growth and expansion of services like FriendFeed and Socialthing!
Previously, MakeUseOf covered the top 5 lifestreaming services. One thing about most lifestreaming services is that they can’t be self-hosted. You might be able to put a little widget in your sidebar or post it on your MySpace page, but there isn’t really a custom solution for you to host your own lifestream.
Who wants to be famous? Oh of course you do. You’d be lying if you said you didn’t stand in front of the mirror when you were younger with the hairbrush as your microphone mouthing the words to Rick Astley or Shaking Stevens. We all have visions of being a pop star or a TV personality. We all want to be someone better than we really are. That’s human nature.
The good news is that if you have a webcam, a fairly fast internet connection and some spare time on your hands, Yahoo gives you the chance to set up a free live video channel on the net and the ability for others to view your channel.
With all the social media sites available to us now, it’s very easy to go into social media overload. There’s no possible way that one can keep up with even 10 sites, let alone the hundreds that are created each month.
In order to keep up with the social media phenomenon, there are numerous aggregation sites & applications popping up on a regular basis. It seems like most people are now using FriendFeed to stay updated with things but what about the other social aggregators out there that are less publicized? Do you use any of them?
