I think lifestreams should pull from sorces and not be a new source. By “original content” I mean something that was not posted somewhere else first (like a blog, flickr, del.icio.us, etc).

I'm not sure why keeping original content off aggregators is important. It seems more like a personal preference.

If you use something like Tumblr to aggregate all the channels together, refrain from posting original content to the aggregator; it makes it too hard to get that content without getting overwhelmed with stuff you have seen elsewhere.

If you use something like Tumblr to aggregate all the channels together, refrain from posting original content to the aggregator; it makes it too hard to get that content without getting overwhelmed with stuff you have seen elsewhere.

I'm having a dilemma myself w/ a couple of these. I've got a couple of places I'm now trying post similar types of things -- but I can't quite figure out how to alert readers of one thing to know about the other thing. Also, I'm rethinking the whole idea of using my name URL (rexhammock.com) as an aggregator to collect everything -- even I get overwhelmed by it. I'm working on a solution -- at least one that works for me. Great points. I’m having a dilemma myself w/ a couple of these.

I particularly like the "Cross post with care." I’ll have to think a little more about this, but it looks like you got the big ones covered. I particularly like the “Cross post with care.”
