My brother recommended I would possibly like this website. He was once entirely right. This submit truly made my day. You can not consider simply how so much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!

Wonderful items from you, man. I have bear in mind your stuff previous to and you’re simply extremely magnificent. I really like what you have got here, really like what you are stating and the best way in which you are saying it. You make it entertaining and you continue to care for to stay it sensible. I cant wait to read far more from you. That is actually a great website.

Honestly, I do not see the value of twitter. I read one market research report that revealed that nearly half of all tweets was “unnecessary babble.” Only 9% had “pass-along value.” Perhaps only 4% was “news.” Okay, I am a senior citizen, but I get Instant Messaging. I get MySpace, FaceBook and Friendster. Heck, I even get an unexpected rap song, when the beat and melody are just suitable. But this SMS for the internet seems a bit too thinly clever — a bit too much fad and flash in the pan, for my tastes. Possibly there’s a Zen side for this. Anyone care to Enlighten me?

Thanks, Greg. I signed up. shortly after you left the comment, but wasn't able to reply until now. The developers of lifestrm.com also created the WordPress plugin that powers Trae Blain's lifestream.

The simple homepage of Twazzup works if you want a search driven site. Chance are, you're gonna want to browse too.

As far as UI goes: Total customization is the way I'd go. UI similar to Twazzup, but:
• with the ability to add/move modules around.
• ability to mix modules from different searches/categories. You can create one page that gives you all the news you care about.
• The homepage could still be search-centric, but offers more than 2 curated topics. Imagine how many people would volunteer to be correspondents and/or curators for a local sports team!
• The homepage should be geo-aware: offering you curated/trending news from your area if you want it.

Alright. I'm sold. Anyone got the money to build this? 'Cause I want to be a part.

Thanks for the link. Yes, twazzup and friendfeed's real-time search are both examples of the "pump" that I describe.

I hope to flesh out how human curation can be applied (using the poorly-named "filter" component listed above) to add value to that stream.

I think another component is an overarching content management system to handle the display of streams on a home page and or section fronts … although that might just be the old-school talking. One could argue that the simple home page of twazzup is all that is needed now!

I'm beginning to better understand storystreaming the more you write about it — thanks! FWIW… what you're describing sounds a bit like twazzup.com . For example: iran.twazzup.com
