This is not new. When doing literary analysis, it's often key to take into account information about the author and their setting, particularly to abstract subtle meaning from the text. It would be really compelling if there was a streamlined way to provide the text in context of the author and their world, therefore giving the text greater meaning. What Kevin Rose has presented grossly falls short of this idea, unless I'm underestimating the value of a blurred selfie. To provide an alternative solution, consider a blogger that writes frequently. As a start we could probably use some basic data analysis to find most frequently used words, entities, and similar features. A different solution that doesn't rely on previous writings could instead rely on the author's schedule. We could look at the schedule to provide interesting anecdotes. For example, say the author is writing a review on a Duke Dumont concert. We could use their schedule to show to that they've been to X related concerts with the last Y days. Or even slightly less related information, such as the author just finished a work out before writing and could be tired, or checked in at Chipotle frequently within the last week, so they have quesodillas on their mind. These are fairly abstract examples, but I hope they get the point across.
