in Wanting a Multidimensional Lifestream on [mturro: in plain sight]
You lost me at kitsch and ABBA :)

I agree the linear chronological lifestreams don't represent you very well. There are some that break up the streams by type before listing chronologically. Example: music, bookmarks, then everything else.

The problem with identifying kitsch is that this is a very difficult problem to solve automatically. There would have to be some kind of UI for you to tag or enter a mode "kitsch". Even if you used machine learning to group this burst of ABBA as being "not normal", which is possible, automatically labeling this with an aesthetic label would be incredibly difficult.

When I started reading your post I was thinking in terms of weighted feeds. You give your last.fm feed a weight of 1 and your blog feed a weight of 5. The lifestream would "layer" and emphasize blog posts much higher than every last.fm squabble or every twitter tweat.

This is a type of lifestream that I am playing with as research, but haven't found such a beast out there yet.
