Ok, this was bugging me a little so I decided to research a bit more. I know that FriendFeed offers a changelog so I decided to search it. If you look here you will see an item with the description "add service refresh and also improve delete a bit" you will also see "change to 'Refresh feed'". Both of these added on 5/13/08. So best I can tell that's when they added this. Ahh...I'll be able to sleep much better tonite.

I've been doing this for so long I never noticed the "refresh feed". I'd swear that link wasn't there when I first started doing this. In any case, thanks for the clarification, albeit in your slap me in the face with a fish kinda way.

Hey Austin. I totally agree that being able to filter the search results by a timeframe to get recent results would further improve using it as a Lifestream generator.

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.

Agreed. From here on out I shall rename these to "Custom Lifestream Gallery". So let it be written...so let it be done. :)

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 above) on Squarespace and I think it definitely is worthy of the distinction.

Tyler, thanks. I have updated your listing. Love what you guys are doing over there and I look forward to trying the service soon.

Kevin, glad you enjoyed the post. It was written by Trae Blain. There are many facets to Lifestreaming and he did a good job explaining one differentiation here.

You can find more resources on ways to self-host your own lifestream on the site here. Let me know if you have any questions too as I'd be glad to help you Pea :)

Great post and very timely with the advent of Facebook opening up their API to allow the data stream to go outside of their network. I especially like how you provide details on utilizing lists with regards to privacy settings. I wrote a post that covers this and recorded a screencast showing people exactly how to navigate to change their settings.

Great post Mike. Can you elaborate more on why there is a need to create both an account on Blogger as well as a self-hosted Wordpress blog?

Nice work Mike. I'm looking forward to getting this added to the GLXP site very soon too.
