Strange coincidence that Lifelog was scrapped in January 2004 which was when Facebook went live.
I believe the idea of Lifelog was to find out everything about everybody. Things like: your name, your family, your friends, what you all said to each other, what you all looked like, where you went, how you felt etc.
In other news: Imagine you wanted to develop a facial recognition system. At many stages you would need lots of pictures of known people in all kinds of surroundings accompanied by many other people to see if you could work out who was who. Imagine how useful a few billion selfies might be and we gave it all away for nothing.
Indeed...LifeLog out of DARPA
