For uses, you could also read Gordon Bell's Total Recall. A little imagination suffices to think of uses for lifelogging (getting mugged, getting into accidents, arguments, etc.). LW itself is responsible for an interesting use - sending data to another person so they can see whether you are slacking off/giving into akrasia.

I would point out that no one has ever 'revisited' cyronics patients as well.

Total Recall is an excellent text on the subject. Plus, it's pretty easy to read and Bell does a good job elaborating on the usefulness of lifelogging.
