Welcome to a new feature on Journal of Awesome. Where we revel and celebrate the death rattle of a trend that's, most likely, overstayed its welcome.
Today's edition features Lifecasting. Which I always thought of as: sex cams without the sex.
Background.
In the early days of the Interwebs there was the Jenny Cam. A 24-hour look into a young woman's life. I believe there was occasional nudity.
More recently, we had Justin.TV, which revealed the tremendous excitement of everyday life. The kind of everyday life that the rest of live without being saddled by a bunch of camera gear.
Reason to be joyful.
No one should become famous just because they turned on a web cam while they were making cereal/taking a crap/blowing their nose/or anything else the rest of us do.
Your 15 minutes are up.
So, goodbye lifecasting.
Take a look at the "best" of what lifecasting had to offer us. (Or just forward ahead to the part where people spin around in their chairs.)
