in Review of Great New Premium Wordpress Theme Designed for Lifestreamers on Lifestream Blog
I'm using this theme as well at http://mickipedia.com. I'm having trouble with the lifestream plugin which came with the theme. I'm getting errors every time I try to add my twitter feed. Did you install the plugin independently of the theme? I'm thinking of deactivating it and reinstalling to see if a fresh install of the plugin will fix the bugs.

Hmm, I was already using the LIfestream plugin prior to adding this theme. I also just looked at the zip file from the theme and didn't see it included. I haven't had an issue importing my Twitter account. I would recommend getting the latest version of the Lifestream plugin from here and then re-installing it. There is also a support forum available for the plugin where you may be able to get help on any issues.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately and frankly, I'm damn sick of advertising. Do you think that advertising has had something to do with the fact that most movies and TV shows are crap? HBO was able to make ground-breaking content because they charged people for it instead of catering to advertisers. I've been an advocate for free media on the web for a while and I know from experience that it's REALLY hard to monetize digital media. On the flip side, I think the abundance of advertising in our lives is really detrimental to our culture in lots of ways. What it comes down to is this: if Amazon is able to offer a seamless and enjoyable experience, people will pay for it. iTunes anyone?

Hear hear! If you ask me, the real fad of the internet is "free.. but with ads." People will pay for quality content, so long as it's incredibly easy to pay. (Again, see iTunes) People may not pay for news, but the reason they keep going to the theaters (even if numbers are falling, Hollywood doesn't exactly look broke -- at least not financially) is because people are willing to pay for an experience. Advertising reduces the immersiveness and quality of any experience, especially an experience that should be as encapsulating and engaging as a film.

@Micki: Spot on: relieve a pain or headache in a painless fashion and it's worth money to people.
@Don: There will never be enough advertising money available to cover all distribution platforms of all content, so after the initial capital is exhausted a lot of these delivery mechanisms and content creators go away (or make cheaper, but hopefully not crappier, content).
