Just a start; done Monday. --David I. Every day you read and create digital documents: email, photos, web pages, blog entries, videos, calendar entries, text. If you string those documents chronologically like beads on a necklace, you get a documentary history of (the digital aspect of) your life. 2. Our Streambuilder makes it easy for you to knock any digital document you choose into the Streambuilder's hopper (as flick Japanese beetles off your rose bushes into a funnel); those documents move out of the hopper into your lifestream. 3. If you're looking at an email and you want to put it in your lifestream, just click an onscreen button. Likewise for photos, videos, web pages. Our goal is perfect simplicity in adding-to and viewing your Stream: learn it in 30 seconds. 4. Sometimes you want to type or dictate a comment just for the stream ("those photos came from Schwartz"; "Just met Piffel & he seems like a moron, but he mentioned that he knew Max & that's worth remembering —ask Eva"). To do that, click or touch an onscreen button; you get a window for text (or a microphone set to record); type or speak your comment; click "done," and the comment goes into your stream. 5. Why have a lifestream? Because your computer-based information and communication is scattered over lots of devices (phones, pods, pads, laptops) and applications (mail, video viewers, Wordpress for blogging). Sometimes you need to go back to remind yourself, look carefully, think something over, find details you've forgot. To do that, rewind your lifestream as you would a video, or tell the system "go back to yesterday morning," "last Saturday," "last August"; then browse your lifestream bead-by-bead, or fast forward, or whatever you like. Your lifestream is in the Cloud and can be tuned in anywhere, using any device. 6. Onscreen, your stream looks like Coverflow (in other words, like the display Freeman and Gelemter invented and patented in 1996); or like frames in a filmstrip, or tiles in a 3D domino-parade seen from in front. EFTA00629517 7. Your lifestream has one other important aspect. Whenever you add something new, you can check the "public" box. So your stream has two kinds of documents, private and public; both are part of the same timeline, like red beads and blue ones on the same necklace. 8. You can see the public documents on anybody's stream (you see a string of blue beads only). That makes your stream the same as your blog: your blog equals the "public" documents on your stream. It also means you can merge any number of streams (i.e. the public parts of those streams) as you would merge decks of cards, preserving chronological order. Stream-merge is a simple but powerful operation, because.... On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 6:57 AM, David Gelemter <Mla> wrote: Yup, Wilde was one funny fruit.
