Working bibliography on lifestreaming

I've mentioned lifestreaming and workstreaming a bit lately. Here's a working bibliography I've put together on the concept, based on searches I conducted in the ACM Digital Library. These academic references span several different implementations: mostly based on automated system monitoring, mostly individual rather than collaborative, mostly desktop based rather than web based.

What strikes me from this review is that, for the most part, the notion of lifestreaming as a collaborative enterprise isn't on anyone's radar until very recently. Mostly, the implementations below are focused on providing an alternative to the desktop metaphor, sort of a time-ordered, searchable stack of documents that you might go through like a stack on your desk. But in an open-plan environment, people get to see each others' stacks and sometimes share them. That seems to be the thrust of the more recent Web 2.0-based lifestreaming and workstreaming trends.

In any case, here they are:
