Hey thanks for including my site. It's an evolution from Yongfook's Boxy theme for Sweetcron. I packed it up as a theme (Tangled Up in Blue) - it's available for download here: http://www.tombeardshaw.com/items/view/710

That's very cool Craig, I didn't see signs of Drupal. I'm also an avid user of Drupal for work. Thanks for the details.

Hey thanks for including my site! Kudos to Yong Fook I first saw a lifestream through a random web-search that landed on his site.

My sites code is only sudo-custom
It is based on drupal with some contributed modules
Off the top of my head I used:
CCK
Views
Image Cache
Feed API
Feed API Mapper
EMfield
thickbox
contemplate
And probably some others I am forgetting…
And some custom CSS and basic XHTML

Agreed. From here on out I shall rename these to “Custom Lifestream Gallery”. So let it be written…so let it be done.

Then you're talking about “customised” or “cool-looking” lifestreams -
not “self-hosted”.

Not a huge problem, just your title is misleading.

While I haven't personally used Squarespace, from what I've gathered they are basically a combination platform / hosting provider. Ultimately you still have the flexibility to customize and create your own distinct looking Lifestream using the service. This has been the distinction I've used for these galleries.

To further confuse things and blur the lines even more, you really have the ability to use services such as Tumblr & Storytlr to customize a Lifestream design and even map to your own domain while still hosting on their server.

Basically I use these galleries to highlight unique Lifestreams that can't be generated using services such as FriendFeed, Lifestream.fm, Iminta, and other "fixed design" services. Hopefully that clarifies things a bit.

Take a look at Tyler's Lifestream (which I discovered after his comment) on Squarespace and I think it definitely is worthy of the distinction.
