We're starting to use Posterous to make personal connections between our employees in the US and Taiwan. Because of it's speed (e-mail), flexibility (just attach videos, pictures, mp3s), and the fact that it's a one stop shop makes it a pretty fun multiple-user “lifestream”. Also, the integration will come in handy for when we want to customize it more.

I have never been a fan of live-tweeting, it's just a series of quotes with hashtags attached which add no relevance. Lifestreaming is the way forward, especially if text, images, audio and video are provided

Hmmm. I don't think one could or should replace the other. With a lifestream you're talking to people...it's more one-way. Less conversational.

With tweeting, you get that back and forth and it's an open forum. You're not required to point an audience there because the platform IS the audience. With lifestreaming, you have actually get people to go there.

Kind of like that whole idea: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it did it happen?"

My fear would be getting a client to dip their toes in with lifestreaming and then defeat the whole purpose of educating them on what social media is all about in the first place.

I think having a lifestream as an extension of another platform be it Facebook or Twitter is the best bet, maybe as the link in a Twitter profile. But replacing those? No way. Especially with B2C clients, it might be better suited for B2B though.

Is it better then Twitter? Yep. Is it better then a destination site or blog format? Not yet. Although I would be amenable to some form of hybrid between the two. I'm definitely thinking about adding a lifestream component to The Lost Jacket. But it would be on a separate tab on my Nav menu…it wouldn't be on every page.

For now? Cool. Later? Who knows.
