Project: What is Stan watching right now?

I’ve written before about the transition from blogging to microblogging to implicit blogging. My clickstream is my implicit blog. In other words, the answer to the question “What is Stan doing right now?” is best answered by the URL I am currently viewing.

So…I had to build it. Here’s what it looks like:


Click the image about to try it, or go to http://wanderingstan.com/live_attention/index.html.

Spurred by a brainstorm session with Jonas Goldstein, I emailed Cluztr founder Jon about how a little javascript could allow anyone to follow an attentionstream with needing a download. So he whipped up a new JSON API, and I had no choice but to build it. (Thanks again, Jon!)

Disclaimers: It’s still kinda flakey. Some sites will break out of the frameset. I’m working on some ways around this.

This is one piece of my blog overhaul where I want to bring some order to all my attention streams, both incoming and outgoing. Hope to have this up soon.

So give this a whirl, let me know of any problems.

I’m online and surfing most days between 9 and 6 mountain standard time. 🙂

ps- Any recommendations for a good thumbnail service?
