The point of concern is the sustainability of the idea behind it (Lifeinlines, A generic version of Twitter or recently funded lifeblob). Since, Execution is awesome, and some innovation if they can put, then only its success can be reasonably assured of.

I wonder if, as an expert, you’d really think of comparing Lifeinlines with Lifeblob. Yes it’s the same space, but really far apart. The question about your timeline being interesting to me ‘might’ be valid for a ‘timeline’. We at LiL, however, don’t really see LiL as a timeline and, we’ve seen amazing amount of user interest in building conversations from the little moments shared by individuals – friends or strangers , or just keeping track.
We do love being in touch with what’s up in people’s life – isn’t that what the Facebook newsfeed or Orkut updates are all about, though at a rather superficial level? Don’t we announce ourselves to the world by the IM status messages and ppl pick up conversations from that?
And amusingly, this wasn’t really the point that came up in my investor interaction. The challenge is more to do with monetization, which as you rightly said, the richness of content/context should help us with. I’m happier when you compare with Twitter, since it’s the same need of being in somewhat closer touch than emails enable.
Do track some of the users’ lives on LiL, perhaps a lot of content that’s never going to be generated on any other platform.
Anyway, I’d rather let the audience give the answer. Sure would want to discuss this sometime, if you feel inclined, shall make my pitch and see your take!
