[About]

Hello.
My name is Lisa M. Rabey and this is my lifestream.

This is how lifestreaming works: Everytime I do something on a social networking site, (for example: publish a review on Yelp or make a comment on Twitter or add a movie to my Netflix queue), that information is automatically pulled by LifeStream for Wordpress and aggregated on [digital biblyotheke]. The content on [digital biblyotheke] is then updated continuously, all day, every day.

LifeStream for Wordpress doesn’t currently support every single social media network in the world, or more succinctly, all the ones that I am on, I’ve included a list in the sidebar complete with usernames for handy stalking material.

You’re probably wondering, “Why do I care that you gave a review on Yelp, added a movie to your Netflix queue and then checked in on Foursquare at your local grocery store?” If you have to ask the question (such as Justin1 often refers to all of my online activities, regardless of what they are, as “Twitter-putering”), then looking at what I do at various online sites seems kind of pointless.

This site, then, illustrates several things:

  • It illustrates my use, understanding and implementation of social networking. Nothing more annoying than stumbling across a “social media expert’s” website and they write incessantly on how super awesome their social networking prowess is, but they have nothing to show for it.
  • It allows me to see how OCD I can get with cataloging and organizing my online presences.
  • Word to the wise: Just because I’m on $socialnetworking site, doesn’t necessairly mean I actively use it. A good portion of the sites I am registered on are to placehold my username. The majority of the sites that I am active on (sans the ones not supported by LifeStream for Wordpress) are on [digital biblyotheke].

You can, additionally, subscribe to my FriendFeed, which also acts as an aggregator via of my online actitivies, but within the social networking context (meta for your meta!) or you can just plain old read my online journal.

[A note about the icons on "On X I Am": The icons were culled from two social networking icon packs: One by Paul Robert Lloyd and the other by Komodomedia. Despite the plethora of great icons, the following services were missing from both packs: Blip, Brizzly, ClaimID, FourSquare, Hulu, LibraryThing, LiveJournal, and SlideShare. I've downloaded and modified those service icons to fit with the prior two packs. You can download those icons here.]


1. Justin is my partner and while he works heavily in technology, he doesn’t “do” social networking. He’s essentially a 70-ish year old man in a 30-ish year old body.
