Since I don’t have enough blogs already, I’m creating a life-stream blog.
It’s running on WordPress, naturally, and it’s using a plugin that takes RSS feeds and publishes them as posts automagically. So far, it’s pulling in my Diigo links, this blog, my Web Works blog and my Facebook postings. For a little while today, I had it pulling in all of my Facebook notifications, but there was just too much chaff.
In addition, I have told my Posterous blog to cross-post here and I have Twitter Tools pulling in my tweets. Disqus is also autoposting my comments to the everything blog as I make them. I couldn’t find a similar option for IntenseDebate, so I may have to go to the RSS-to-post route.
Why am I doing this? Well, it occurred to me that my postings are spread rather far and wide around the Internet. They account for a significant chunk of my life, and until I made the everything blog, there was no unified record of my online activity.
Now there will be, and supposing that the database or its backups survive long enough, I’ll be able to look back on my online activity for years to come.
