Storytlr

Just got wind of this today - what a cool/wierd idea. Storytlr is a site which allows you to aggregate all of your various blogs, flickrs, twitters and the like, and publish a story about yourself (it's another anit-vowel name too, that must count for something ...).

Seems to be fascinating next iteration of "web 2.0" and I look forward to seeing how it develops. However it develops though, what an amazing leap of lateral thinking that gives people a whole new way to express themselves and who they are.

Maybe this is the digital version of collecting objects that express your identity?

Well Tell Stories

We Tell Stories

Wow, look what happens when you cross a thriller with GoogleMaps; follow the story of a teenage girl live on twitter; or transport yourself to Arabia and the shoes of a president with protesters rousing outside. When two unexpected mediums collide, it is pure alchemy. Imagine all the possibilities of crossing technology with stories -- a treasure hunt story with SatNav? Hide and Seek with Google Latitude? A story with carefully curated iTunes soundtrack intervals?
