I met a while back with Elizabeth Hartnell-Young. She’s an enthusiastic and amazing researcher who, as one of her interests, studies ePortfolios.

Elizabeth is leading a project using Lifeblog to explore identities and personal storytelling in social settings: school, home, leisure and so on

Nokia’s Lifeblog
is one concept that may be useful. At the moment, the Lifeblog is

How do you use your Lifeblog? Do you just use Lifeblog mobile to view all your stuff in one place and share stuff? Do you use Lifeblog PC simply as a backup for all you mobile content? Do you annotate or modify or import stuff into your Lifeblog to make it more personal? Do you actually use Lifeblog to tell a story? Do you have more than one Lifeblog, each with a different story?
