Plan For My Website
This is just my plan. No stealing though.
So…
I want to build basically a CrunchBase style CMS / Lifestream / Blog – all in one.
Basically, it would allow me to add things to the CrunchBase part that matter to me. Anything from people I admire, restaurants I love, products I own, etc.
I’ll use many different datasources to pull in information about each item.
Then, I’d build the lifestream part which would basically just pull in content from RSS feeds of sites I use.
Each feed item would be able to be manually tagged with any of the items in the database. It might even try to auto tag them by reading the content of the lifestream item.
I could also write an ocasional blog entry which could also be tagged with this system.
The end result would basically be an awesome, multi-dimensional stream of everything I do (that has an RSS feed.)
So not only would you see everything I do in one easy to read stream. You could also search the database of things that I like. I’d be able to write simple reviews for those items, my opinions, etc. As well as view all the related lifestream items.
So, someone could search for Fraiche (an awesome FroYo shop in downtown Palo Alto) and they would see all the times I’ve checked in there on Foursquare/Gowalla, my tweets about it, my review on Yelp, etc.
Or maybe they could look a movie and see what I rated it on Flixter, when I watched it on Boxee, etc.
(I think I’ve said “etc” 5 time, woops!)
Anyway, what do you think?

Thanks.
I really wish there was more time to do things like this. I've had this idea for a long time.

I love the idea that you collaborate all the stream/updates from different places into one. Hope that will be successful. I can help you if you need it.

Thanks. I'll let you know when I get started. It'll be kind of like
the family thing I was talking about on Skype.

Brilliant. My friends who are self-described as talented at “(Facebook) stalking” will adore it. Good luck!

Yupp. That's the goal.
