The title seems to contradict itself right? Well, there was a time last year when I wanted to compile all of my personal communications into a general timeline. I\u2019m talkin\u2019 email, IMs, texts messages, pictures, blogs, bookmarks, etc.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t do it. Partially because I don\u2019t have the technical ability to do it, which is a lame excuse. And partially because after voicing the idea to a few people, privacy became a concern. Not wanting to cut my ties, or at least my digital communications with anyone, I let the idea go.<\/p>\n
Then Twitter.com came rambling \u2019round the corner. It\u2019s like IMing with no one in particular. You just post what you\u2019re doing for the world to see. You can subscribe to friends timelines, and they yours. But it isn\u2019t direct either way.<\/p>\n
You can check out my twitter timeline here.<\/p>\n
While twitter is great, you tend to mutter to yourself, what\u2019s the point of all this? Who cares? (Turns out a lot of peolpe.) I don\u2019t have an exact answer. It\u2019s like instant blogging without worrying too much about content. Twitter gives you something to do when you have nothing else to do. And it\u2019s a way of contacting a lot of people at once – without ever really trying.<\/p>\n
Just this morning I found a similar site called Jaiku.com. Jaiku is a lot like twitter – you post what you\u2019re currently doing and you can see what your friends or strangers are doing. The base is almost exactly like Twitter.<\/p>\n
But Jaiku allows you to add feeds to our timeline. In my case, I added my flickr account (photos), my del.icio.us account (links), and my blog posts from here.<\/p>\n
Very cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
