Lifeblog 1.0 is Alive and available for purchase from Nokia’s Lifeblog website. It plays well with Nokia’s megapixel 7610 camphone. All about Symbian also has a review.
Lifeblog is described as an Automatic Multimedia Diary
What do we mean by that?
- Automatic = there’s not much for you to do
- Multimedia = pictures, text, video
- Diary = a daily record
In short, we mean that there’s not much for you to do to get the best out of it; just go about your normal day taking photos and videos with your phone, sending and receiving messages. Then, just press ’synch’ and all the multimedia items are laid out in a diary format. Then, enjoy!
You can download the software as a free trial version or full commercial version (EUR $29.95). It also works with Six Apart blogging software.
Ken Wood (above), describes some of the research Microsoft is doing in MyLifeBits.
At the photo sharing site Flickr photos identified as 7610 are generally associated with the Nokia 7610, which has a good quality megapixel camera. Snap stills with the Nokia then create narrated photo stories using Microsoft’s Photo Story or Serious Magic Visual Communicator. Finished multi-media stories can then be uploaded to TextAmerica for broad distribution over phones, handhelds or home computers - like this report on Gay Marriage. Stills were shot with a camera phone while supers and narration were added later.
