New Lifestream Plugin for Wordpress Released

Posted in Software | Comments

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

A new Lifestream plugin was released a few weeks ago simply called “Lifestream”. It’s written by David Cramer. He apparently began using the RSS Stream Lifestreaming plugin and decided to roll his own version shortly after. You can view it in action on his site here.

RSS Stream is a great plugin and this one just takes it a step further by using the SimplePie parser and offering more flexibility in the feeds it can use. Keep in mind that it requires Wordpress 2.5 minimum and PHP5 which may not be supported by your hosting provider.

You can grab it from his site here or at Wordpress.org over here.

Soup.io Gets Some Love Today

Tumblr was one of the first Lifestreaming services that gained popularity with it’s minimalist blogging approach with beautifully designed sites. Unfortunately I feel that they took a step backwards when they began limiting sites to only allow for 5 feeds to be imported.

Last year in my coverage I came across a very similar service called Soup.io which I feel offers richer options, support for more services, and great flexibility. If you are a fan of Tumblr, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Soup.io.

Today, Richard MacManus proclaimed it’s currently one of his favorite web services. Andy Desoto who has been writing quite a bit about Lifestreaming lately picked up on the Soup.io mention at RWW today and wrote up a good review.

Here’s a snip:

If you’ve known about this service for quite some time now, feel free to move along; released in the last quarter of 2007, it’s hardly new, especially in the rapid-fire world of Web 2.0 startups.  But if you’ve never heard of it like I hadn’t, read along: soup.io just might be what you’re looking for.

You can read the rest of Andy’s review here.
