I talked to a few of my friends today on the possible development directions of my website. The reason behind this is that I usually find myself way too busy to write a blog post that takes more than 15 mins (and if I do find time, I do it at Arctic Startup). When I have about 20 seconds of free time I usually blast a status update with Moodblast to various services such as Twitter, Facebook and Jaiku. On top of that there are services that collect my various behavioral attributes that I’ve taken to share with my friends, such as Goodreads books, last.fm music, etc.

Now why in earth should I have a blog that I update so seldom and leave the other services’ value to the sidebar for the visitor when I could create a website that focuses on me and what I’m up to on the services mentioned above (and a lot more)? What I’m talking about is basically a website that aggregates all my activity from various web services into one place, being my website, and make that data useful in a totally new way. Furthermore, the visitors themselves could determine what service they would want to visit and learn more about.

This service would be something of a lifestream aggregator – a single website that aggregates all the activities into one place and lets the services themselves take care of the stuff they’re best at. I’ve already got some ideas for this so if I find any spare time during the next month and a half I’ll try and make a run for it :)
