Lifecasting

After writing my blog about Lifecasting, I have recently formed an unhealthy interest in a crop of upcoming internet personalities, all of which seem to fall under the dubious term of “tech babes” or “CeWebrities” which ever you prefer.

However there are lots of personalities online at the minute who are making a living from the activity of lifecasting and I find them fascinating.
