Shannon and I have been microblogging for some time now on Twitter. Shannon is also addicted to Facebook and thanks to her I’ve also been known to show up there. Come be our friends and share our life, we need all the help we can get!

The point is that we’re always publishing – just not necessarily on exceler8ion.

We have lots of blogs as you might know and we even update them once in a while. Taken alone, they can be all together too quiet – aggregate them and you can see that we’re always online doing something.

That’s the point of a lifestream – you use RSS feeds to get everything into ONE portal page. ONE ring to rule them all. We’re using a hosted service called tumblr to publish our lifestreams and we’re both very happy with tumblr’s servic now that Shannon hacked tumblr to include comments.

Come along for the ride and start a lifestream of your own. It was our friend Ami Givertz who inspired me to get off my duff and create a lifestream. I was lamenting on a phone call with Ami that I often grew discouraged by the difficulty of keeping up with so many blogs and yet still wanted to have them be separate and distinct based on content focus and reader interest. So after I finished bitching Ami said that he felt the same way and had done something about it. You can always count on Ami to be an action oriented cheeky monkey!

You’ll find our last 8 posts from each of our lifestreams right here on the right rail of exceler8ion or you can go to Shannon’s directly by pinging shannonseery.com or aka thegeekmarketer or mine here on Julians.name. If you start your own tumblr then make sure to add Shannon and I as friends so we can keep track of each other.

I recommend tumblr because it’s super simple to use, not the slightest bit technical, you can use your own url (or not) and you can post ALL types of content, including text, video, pictures, and many more. It does all this with a very inviting interface that encourages you to post. Yes, and there’s the aforementioned ability to aggregate all your RSS feeds at the same time. If you’ve thought of blogging but haven’t because you don’t have the time then a tumblelog on tumblr could be just what the doctor ordered.

Jules felt weird about posting this on EXCELER8ion – but I certainly do not.  Julian is running his first full marathon on Sunday – the 2007 A1A Marathon that goes along the coast of beautiful Fort Lauderdale from Las Olas Blvd to Copans and back.

Julian has written about this feat on his personal blog and has even turned this into a social media project.  I hope our readers will follow him and send him a million good thoughts and energy.  Julian has been pure inspiration to me from the first moment I met him and he continues to inspires me everyday.

Here is my quote for Jules – ’cause you’ve got guts baby:

Most people run a race to see who is fastest. I run a race to see who has the most guts.”   – Steve Prefontaine

Here is my quote for me -’cause I’m the wind beneath his wings baby :

We can’t all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.”   – Will Rogers

Go read his post and wish him well.  ?
