(2011-09-15) Scoble Google Plus Identity Streams

Robert Scoble jumps off from Eric Schmidt's rationale for Google Plus's Real Name requirement into envisioning a Product Roadmap. It involves making better people- and content-discovery recommendations based on collecting 5 different streams (Life Streaming) of activity from the user:*

1. App stores. The tools to use, the games to play.
2. Notification streams (e.g. alerts on your Mobile). What is happening. Things you need to know.
3. Activity streams. Metadata about what everyone did in the system and who is doing it.
4. News and media stream. Who is generating media (posts, videos, photos, audio) and who is doing it?
5. Pagination displays.*

I'm not sure this requires you have a single Real public identity, as long as Google can associate those 5 streams with you...
