Lifestrea.ms: Keeping track of your 1 million and counting online identities
Written by amedeo on November 15th, 2007
So you’ve given up trying to maintain your own Web site, gone nuts and become a network publication. Now if only you had 1 million producers to manage all those sites or…or…Lifestrea.ms?
I don’t know if the service will perform as promised. Read/WriteWeb has some concerns, but there’s nothing like finding out for yourself, especially when everything is free and no one seems worried (yet) about monetizing any of the trillions of Web services produced daily. My beta request is in.
Update: I’ll have to give Profilactic.com a whirl while I’m at it. Seems to be the same service.
Thanks for mentioning Profilactic. While our services are similar, I think we have a stronger set of features and better usability that any lifestreaming/social aggregator out there. Of course, I’ll let you be the judge of that as I am admittedly biased.
We currently support 89 social sites by default with a goal of 100 by the end of the year. We also allow you to add as many custom sites as you like.
We are in the middle of developing v3 which will provide some really powerful tools for managing your “social graph.”
Thanks again for the mention. We appreciate it.
Sorry Smorty71, but I don’t like comparing apples with pees. That’s why I offer everybody who’s interested to get a private beta invitation for lifestrea.ms to have a look at it yourself.
LS is much more than an aggregator. Like Marshall Kirkpatrick posted on Read/WriteWeb, it’s more like a digital nerve center on the web.
You can aggregate your and your friends lifestreams, but you can also add content from your dashboard to the outside world, e.g. your Twitter account, your blog or delicious and you can also use it as your live-refreshing feedreader which holds possibilities to share, comment and forward posts, even with trackbacks to the original blog.
Furthermore your profiles (one for each of your personal networks like family, friends and professional) have implemented the full functionality for re-distributing your social graph already - with finetuned social relationships. Last but not least: your profiles also have an APML export, which means that you can share your interests with other services or software, e.g. desktop feedreaders.
This APML is also used internally to help you discover new topics and friendships.
At the moment we are working on a new user interface, which will make the handling of all those functions a lot easier. Stay tuned
