While browsing the lifecasting website Ustream.tv, I came across the live stream of a young woman who goes by the name of Nekomimi_Lisa. After watching a couple of her clips, I've concluded that lifecasting is potentially dangerous. Not everybody uses lifecasting to their best advantage in the same way that Chris Pirillo and Jody Gnant do. Lisa's lifecasting clips will not give more discerning viewers a favorable impression of her. She is a very pretty young woman, but her lifecasting clips show her to be somewhat vacuous and immature. Most of her clips talk about inane subjects such as her latest outfit or relationship.

Lisa doesn't appear to be promoting her business or expertise on any particular subject. Instead, it seems she is shamelessly promoting herself without any concrete purpose. She thinks she is somebody and her lifecasting clips are an unashamed attempt to make the world think she is important too. Lisa's lifecasting clips remind me of those embarrassing diaries many women write in their late teens or early twenties. Years later, you find these diaries and cringe in shame when you read them back to yourself. I have a feeling that years from now Lisa will watch her lifecasting clips and squirm. The fundamental difference between lifecasting and writing a journal is that a diary is personal. A potential audience of thousands can watch Lisa every day. Although I genuinely feel rather sorry for Lisa, there is a lesson to be learned from her lifecasting clips: If you are going to use life streaming, be very cautious what you do or say on camera.
