What to do with a stream? § At the end of the day you'll have a record of your activities in your stream, because you've been adding documents to the stream (one click each) all day long. (Which documents? See below.) § Recall that, onscreen, your stream looks like a book as you flip pages, or you can tunnel through it, or see it as a film-strip. § Using a pad (eg), you review the day by sliding a finger over the stream, glancing at each document as it passes, stopping if you need to (to answer mail or look at a video clip, say). § It's important that you be able to review the past on-stream easily (no clicks) using any device. Even more important, you can review the past by checking one app (or one place): no need to dip into separate software worlds (mailer, browser, file system and so on) and piece together the story-line yourself. § On the weekend, when you travel etc you can review past weeks: glide right through them. § To prepare for a meeting with Schwartz, focus your stream on Schwartz (i.e. search on "Schwartz"), and flip through the resulting Schwartz-stream: every document of any kind that mentions Schwartz. In short, § Use your private lifestream to review the past (finishing what's incomplete), and prepare the future. (What about public elements on your stream? See below.) Which documents? § What goes into the stream? Say you have meetings or phonecalls much of the day. In the morning you add to the stream (one click) every email that's important (that you might want to look at again), every email you want to answer but don't have time to; every attachment that's interesting; every web page, photo or video that arrives in email and looks interesting or important. Cost per document is one click, so you knock documents into your stream quickly, barely thinking. EFTA_R1_00288942 EFTA01864596
