The Future of Blogging and Blog Design

Though I’m in Penang at the moment, here’s something a friend of mine; Jonathan, stumbled on. It’s a blog by YongFook. The name indeed sounds Chinese, he’s a Eurasion born in United Kingdom and is currently working in Japan. And he’s a web producer.

So what’s all the fuss about this yongfook character? Well, he basically has realized how blogs eventually will evolve in the future. Mind you, I rarely feature a website or blog which drives me to a point of featuring it. And he’s basically paved the future of owning a personal space.

Yongfook or Jon’s blog is in short…

…a real-time flow of my activity across various websites, with the occasional blog post for nourishment.

…and he calls this; Lifestream.

Not only is the website beautifully designed presented in its simplistic form, it projects the Lifestream which Jon has visualized. And the more I read about Lifestream, the more I believe this may be the future of personal websites, if not blogs.

A personal space where all updates of our life will revolve around. One website, one blog, one YouTube, one Twitter and etc. All under one roof to share with everyone online. Basically, think of it as a large RSS reader turned into a website.

If you’re an adventurous nerd or geek, Jon has a guide on how to make your own Lifestream blog with Tumblr.

What do you think the future has for blogging or blog design?
