Cindy Li and Jason Garber have travelled across the country. Here's the stream of data they generated with the help of Twitter, Flickr and blog posts. It's really an impressive thing when simple data updates can be put together to form a last impression of a trip or event.
I know one of the latest rages is the concept of life streams where you combine all of your feeds into one in order to let everyone know what's going on. I think that's pretty cool overall but the idea of a limited time stream seems even better. You can keep the snapshot together of what you were thinking and doing, what you were thinking and who you were with. It could be a pretty cool service to allow people to create the short-term streams, something like the old idea of short-term blogs which sprung up for events or meetings.
Perhaps I'll try and do something similar for my trip to Paris. I leave next Sunday. I should be updating Twitter, Flickr, hopefully this blog and whatever else I can do.
