I feel the hardest part would be "Hey we just took $150k and ran into legal trouble, technical trouble, whatever-trouble"... which would not be a good place to be in.
ROFL! Yup...

Am I missing something, or isn't this something like a supersized Facebook?

I think this would be a service that does it for you instead of the manual posting. It's like a meta-Facebook.

With the entire internet; kind of like a windows explorer for your entire online life.
EDIT: not the entire internet, just forums, facebook, etc. haha

Sort of. But you can't post to it. It's an aggregator.

It's really not as far off as you might think. Many services allow you to use your Facebook credentials for authentication, it wouldn't take anything for them to include anything you do on those sites to be included in your FB timeline. And if this was something you really wanted, you would put pressure on any other service you use to integrate with FB for this purpose.
Personally, I'm completely against this. I know Scott doesn't concern himself with whomever knowing what he's doing at any time, or maybe I'm just to naive and believe it's still possible to have some sort of privacy.
That said.. I'm sure tons of other people will be more than happy to have this at their finger tips.

I think it's neat as an idea to catalog what you did, how much time you spent (like how many thousands of hours @scottalanmiller has spent on here and SW), and such. It'd be one massive database of individual databases though.
-
@ajstringham yes. Automated, one person's timeline. And super aggregated from any RSS, Atom or other feed.

I LIKE IT!
-
Basically all you'd have to do is, for the aggregator, is enter the credentials you use for each site you use that credential on. We need a master API or something here...
-
Yes think about SW or ML data. It's all over the place with comments here and there. This would take all that stuff and turn it into a single timeline of awesomeness.
-
Yes this would be a private timeline that you can share out. Otherwise it would've be able to aggregate you.

Hahahaha so looking around to guage things out of curiosity there's "MySocialBook" that turns your Facebook history into a book.
Nope. Nope. Nope.

For some reason this makes me think of lifelogging:

Really? That's kinda cool.

Maybe like a yearbook; I just had terrors of the first few pages being awkward high-school relationships and strange 3am selfies at Whataburger.

ROFL! I never had issues with either of those things...no Facebook for me until halfway senior year in high school, never had a girlfriend in high school (or really ever for that matter), so no drama there, and I've never eaten at Whataburger...

Kinda. This would integrate stuff like that with other things.

Well the Playback Machine senior developer is in the discussion now. So we will get his opinion as to if the kick starter is worth pursuing.
