This is a series where I highlight some of the unique Lifestream sites that I come across. You can view previous galleries here. If you or someone you know has a unique custom Lifestream, be sure to let me know.
I discovered a new open source Lifestreaming platform written in Django that comes to us from Krzysztof Klinikowski of Poland.
He describes it as
Lifestreaming Platform, multilanguage and multiuser. Written in Django, using modern technologies, microformats friendly. Clean and beautiful.
Here is a screenshot of a user profile (click to visit)
This is an alpha release but you can download the code from Github and he has a demo version running here. You can read more about Krzysztof’s other projects and contact him here.
Charles’ Tumblelog now Launches – Info on several services similar to Tumblr as well as a self hosted open source app that can be used called Gelato CMS
Stowe Boyd on Lifestreaming on the Edge – “This leads to a model called “lifestreaming.” People are continually broadcasting their life to groups of friends and even strangers. People know where you are and ask you questions about things in your life because of life streaming.”
I came across an interview with Chris Messina today in which he discusses DiSO (pronounced DeeeeeeSoooooooo) in detail. Along with the primer he goes on to say that he is currently working on the initial implementation to be done via Wordpress Plugins.
Some initial functions include:
OpenID Authentication
Use your blog as an OpenID source
Discover friends services advertised on their identities
Authorize access to private areas via permissions
He also says that the Wordpress version should release in a couple of months followed later by support for Drupal, Movable Type, Rails, Django & more.
