The life stream idea is too fascinating to not check it out. :) I will certainly have a closer look at Cluztr and iStalkr (and any other service I find) and see how I can use my attention data with those services.

Your feelings are completely justified, and privacy concerns are certainly valid. However, many publishers of lifestream data allow you to privatize your data, so only those who you choose to make it available to can access it. So if you consider lifestreams in the context of who will make use of it; ie: probably just your friends and family - the benefits of such services certainly outweigh most concerns. Services like Cluztr, also allow you to manage your data, in so much as deleting those items which are, either irrelevant or inappropriate. Additionally, they provide many other methods for distilling and filtering data - so by the time the stream hits your reader or aggregator it's nice and clean. “I still have mixed feelings about life streams because much more information is revealed about myself …”
