Definition

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.

For Rob Wilcox the idea of Lifestreaming is that "every (connected) experience - txt, email, voice call, scrible, in person meetup, personal visual and sound experience, commercial media experience is indexed, searchable and recoverable on a timeline (and geoline)".[1]
