My first look at lifestreaming

Streams are flowing everywhere. From text messages to Twitters to Facebook, millions of time-based, serial streams have emerged as the next big thing. What I find particularly interesting as a Rolonicist is that we are finally moving from the era where structures were the dominant species.

Those who follow Rolonics know that structures and streams are two sides of the same coin. Here are two early attempts in the stream world to unite the two. Both hashtags and twemes are notable examples where streams are analyzed and structural tag references are extracted.

Let's keep an eye on this. I have yet to see anything that handles "change over time" state or two-time.
