I had signed up for this a while back, because I liked the idea of a “lifestream” as they say. It’s basically an aggregation of your online social content. Much like Posterous, Flavors.me has this aggregation as well. One thing I like though Flavors.me is that it incorporates Foursquare. Those of you that don’t have an iPhone or haven’t heard of this app, it’s what I like to call, a real-life video game. It’s a geo-location type of app where you check-in to a spot that you are currently located. Each check-in gives you a point value and there are bonuses for various type of check-ins as well. GoWalla is another one of these types of apps with a bit of a different spin. In GoWalla, you check-in to places, but instead of points, you pick up and drop off items.
At first, these sort of apps are a bit disturbing since you can broadcast your check-ins to Twitter and Facebook and the world can see exactly where you are at that given moment. But then again, you don’t have to tell anyone either where you are and can play in “single player” mode. It’s fun though to see other people checking in to places that you goto, discovering new places that you haven’t been to, and even chatting with those that have been to the same places as you and making new connections.
I suppose that was my intent in the first place of having a lifestream. To make new connections and meet some really cool people. I’m not sure if these applications will stand the test of time on the web, but while they are here, why not take advantage of the outreach to the many types of people that you can possibly connect with.
. This is your body’s self-defense mechanism to try and recover itself, despite you. So it stands to make sense that REM sleep is the phase of sleep that is most crucial.
. Anyone out there????
