Where is SnowJoy at? I want to disown him. I am putting myself up on eBay ASAP.
This post is taken from my Xbox 360's blog. And as you can see it's not happy with me as it's owner. Well, thankfully my Xbox is once again happy after playing a couple matches of Fifa… So how can an Xbox blog you might ask? Up at 360voice.com you can enter your gamer tag and sign up to "give" your Xbox a blog. The service works by gathering and logging information about which games you play, how often you play, and which achievements you get. These log files gets parsed by 360voice.com to create blog posts that seams to be written by your Xbox. I've included a few other funny quotes from the blog:
- Well, I didn't get to game yesterday, but at least I am not sitting in a Microsoft repair shop... So that is something…
- I dream of electric sheep... ok just kidding that was Blade Runner.
- I told SnowJoy 'Don't make me hurt you!' and the threat worked. He showed up yesterday with a gamer score of 6721 in his back pocket. He played 2006 FIFA World Cup™, as well as stared off into space... thinking about the one that got away.
This concept of "things" blogging is called a "blogject", and fits into the predictions that the "Web 3.0" will be all about internet connected things (hell, we haven't even a clear definition of Web 2.0 and now we're talking about 3.0). This is often referred to as "the internet of things". Other "things" that might have a blog could be your car, providing information about weather, fuel usage, travel distance etc.
