Lifestreaming is a term used to describe the act of streaming one's actions and life to others in a consistently updating manner. Whether streaming one's heartbeat data, visor video or GPS data, lifestreaming is part of the process of the Quantified Self, or a process used by those who log data about themselves and format it into a visual or graphed format over time.
