Facebook gets into lifelogging with their timeline feature

CNN coverage:

With 'real-time' apps, Facebook is always watching

(CNN) -- A couple years ago, a Microsoft researcher named Gordon Bell embarked on a personal experiment: He would wear a video camera around his neck all the time and keep this "life recorder" always turned on, so it would record everything he did.

It was like an external memory drive for his brain, he wrote in a book called "Total Recall."

Sounds pretty sci-fi, right? Not so much. The "real-time sharing" updates Facebook announced Thursday aim to do something quite similar -- only for the Internet instead of in real life.

 With 'Timeline' feature, Facebook goes eternal (or at least tries to)

"Timeline is the story of your life," Zuckerberg said.

So how do you feel about Facebook bringing lifelogging to the mainstream? Is it the realization of your vision or is the average internet user not ready for this?

It's not a video camera, it is just a camera to capture photos each 30 second or depending on
some environment changes that detected by any of their built in senors (acceleration or light).
