Date August 20, 2008

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 [...]

Soup.io Gets Some Love Today

Date August 19, 2008

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 [...]

New Travelstreaming Site Offers Great Niche Based Form of Lifestreaming

Date August 13, 2008

Alan Cheslow notified me last night of a new site project he is working on that he’s deemed a Travelstream. He really piqued my interest and I made my way over to the site right away. He’s created this new site so that he could share his family road trip with his extended family and [...]

Are Mainstream Users Becoming Confused by Lifestreaming?

Date August 12, 2008

Over the last few months I’ve had several co-workers connect with me via Plaxo. Along with this I’ve had several of them comment on how active I am on the Plaxo service. They are of course referring to my activity on Plaxo Pulse. When I then begin explaining that the activity isn’t occurring on the Plaxo site per se, but is [...]

New Timeline Based Lifestreaming Service AllofMe

Date August 10, 2008

Allofme.com is a new service that is currently in Alpha that has entered the Timeline based form of Lifestreaming. It appears to be similar to previous services I’ve covered dipity and LifeBlob and even Dandelife to some degree. I have yet to try the service as I don’t have an account, but they provide several interesting [...]

Major Developments Continue to Bring Lifestreaming to the Mainstream

Date August 5, 2008

It was October of last year when I wrote about a Wired story talking about Plaxo Pulse that generated some of the first rumblings of Lifestreaming entering into the mainstream. Then in January I asked if 2008 would bring Lifestreaming to the masses. Clearly it had now become “Wired” which is a little scary as that sometimes means that [...]

AOL Launches buddyupdates Lifestreaming Service and Nobody Noticed

Date July 30, 2008

If it wasn’t for this tweet from Frank Gruber I would have never found out about AOL’s new Lifestreaming service at buddyupdates.com and chances are if you wouldn’t have either. Quite surprisingly I didn’t see any of the major news outlets like ReadWriteWeb, Mashable, Webware or TechCrunch review or mention it. So when I decided to take a look at it I [...]
