…I am Captain Planet. I’ve been looking for quite a while for a “decent” lifestream plugin for WordPress. All those that I found either didn’t work, or didn’t work how I wanted them to. Solution: Make my own. Its still a work in progress (but good progress, since I only started it a little over 24 hours ago). More info soon. http://deanjrobinson.com/lifestream
Excellent news. I look forward to seeing what comes of this project. By the way, I cannot see anything on the lifestream page — is it still at such an early stage?
Oops. I had put an ol and ul in that last comment, but they obviously got parsed out.
This looks very interesting. I’ve been looking at a load of aggregators over the last while and the idea of having something plug directly into WordPress is very appealing.
My favourite at the moment is Spokeo — which allows you to pick up all your friend’s feeds from a huge variety of services, without ever suggesting that you “invite” them to the service.
I assume you have a plan for how you’re going to develop this, but I figure no harm in throwing in my ideas as to how something like this would work.
Obviously point 2 is a bit more complicated.
Just my two cents… I wouldn’t have a clue how to do something like this!
Check out spokeo to see how nicely they’ve done things (although the styling could do with a rework..)

Excellent news Dean and looks like a good start. I too, have been wanting something like this and I’m far too lazy to try and code my own!
Nice! I looked at a few lifestream plugins too but the tables drove me crazy.
