LifeLog enables subscribers to easily create a personal log of their lives anytime, anywhere, by offering a seamless synchronization experience between the mobile device and the PC

Sounds a lot like a network version of Lifeblog (and what a great name!). The press release promises a lot (sharing and notification, insurance, seamless synch with mobile and PC), too, but I can’t seem to find any substantial info on the product anywhere else. Feel free to leave a link in the comments.

One thing comes to mind – who is paying for the data charges? My other caveats for a service like this – the time it takes to upload a megapixel image or a 1 minute video, the cost of storage online, the user experience in general, ownership of data, the user lock-in – can be dealt with in different ways, but I don’t know if these guys address those issues either.

I don’t want my former association with Lifeblog to make you think I’m trying to put these guys down. I think these guys are many years ahead of the curve. I hope that they achieve all their goals with this product.

Before I joined Nokia, I worked for a company of 1 – me. Everything I created, was created by me. It was great, and I was really growing personally, on the path to creating some more great stuff.

When I joined Nokia, I think they had over 60,000 employees (now I think they have about 54k, in 60 countries). It was my first office job. A very different experience. My advantage in the company, in some ways, is that I think as a little guy working with, not for, a big guy. It gives me a bit of a rebel attitude, allowing me to ignore the big company stuff, while delivering the speed and savvy that a little guy can bring. On the flip side, I have been constantly frustrated by things that small shops do that I can’t do because I work in a ‘beeg’ company.

But sometimes I think, if you’re shooting to ship a few hundred million units of electronics in 365 days, I think small might not cut it. Maybe.

Sigh. In what I do (wordsmith and imagineer) maybe small is just as good, if not better. Maybe even just a better proposition for me. Right?

Don’t wait. Get small. Think big.

Six Apart’s mobile blogging software depends on the operating system of the phone rather than on individual partnerships with mobile phone operators. Its application is the power behind the Nokia Lifeblog and therefore must be run on a Nokia Series 60 phone.
