DailyDirt: Measuring Every Moment Of Our Lives
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Data is everywhere, and it’s getting easier and easier to collect. Digital photos and video are recording all sorts of activities — from Chatroulette to citizen surveillance. Video versions of Twitter haven’t yet gotten popular but someday they might. Or maybe, just like videophone predictions that never came to pass, no one actually wants to see that much raw video. In any case, here are some links on capturing experiences for posterity.
A bunch of folks are tracking their own behavior and discovering some interesting quirks.

Bacon on the other hand….
Can I do a DailyDirt? I have a couple ideas that relate to copyright, and technology. You would have the geeks and the copyright types commenting in a big way.

Hi Hephaestus,
If you’d like to submit a DailyDirt… just go to:

Although, just a note: the DailyDirts are usually non-copyright topics… to get a bit of variety on Techdirt.
Thanks!
