Modified Version of SimpleLife Lifestreaming Plugin for Wordpress

July 11, 2008

Last year we saw the release of SimpleLife. It was a Lifestreaming plugin for Wordpress based off of Simplepie. Today I came across the blog of Thomas Trumble who has recently spent time editing the original plugin to add some additional features.

Here’s a List:

• Addition of 6 extra feeds for a total of 9
• Addition of built in support for feeds from Yelp, YouTube Favorites, Google Reader Shared Items, Pandora Favorite Artists and Songs, Plaxo Pulse, 2 Amazon Wishlists, Tumblr and StumbleUpon
• Implementation of Db0’s Google Reader Lifestream Archive and a modified version of his Google Reader Comment Tracking concept that supports and formats feeds from Twitter, Del.icio.us, Netflix, coComment, Disqus and Intense Debate
• Implementation of Db0’s concept for showing the number of items and length of time in the lifestream
• Commented out the charts of recent activity - they just didn’t seem useful to me, but it’s there if you want to use them and my additions should show up in them
• Addition of tons of additional favicons for streaming services so you don’t need to add them yourself, whatever you want is probably now included

If you are a user of the original plugin or are looking for one to add to your Wordpress blog it’s worth a look. You can see the plugin in action here and you can find his plugin page here.
