Interesting review, I think you included all the main lifestream-sites out there. Perhaps something could be added (in a future article) about self-hosted and home-built systems? My guess is that quite a lot of people savvy enough to implement a lifestream would tend to go the self-hosted way, but I may be mistaken.

On an unrelated note, have you still got an invite left for socialthing? I'd love to get one if at all possible.

Best regards

Hey Andrew, we do offer filtering of friends' content by person at source.

On the Friends' mashup page, you can select any friend and see only their content.

If you go to that person's own mashup, you can filter by each of the sites that they use.

If you had other filtering in mind, please shoot me a note at feedback at profilactic dot com.

2008-03-14T06:53:00.000Z

Thanks for the great review.

Do you know of http://www.spokeo.com/ ? The service seems to do a good job of finding your friends on different sites if you import your address book. I find the friend grouping feature a bit difficult to use but still useful.

As for Profilactic - the service I prefer for creating a mashup of my own content - it would be nice if they offered filtering of friend's content by friend and content source.

2008-03-13T18:13:00.000Z

Tad Chef, To be completely honest, we kind of "borrowed" the language for our terms of use from another site.

We don't want to own your content. In fact, I have removed that section from our terms.

As far as SU is concerned, we added support for them a long time ago. As far I know, they didn't have RSS then. If they do now, we will definitely add them.

Profilactic sadly owns all of your content:

"Our sites include a combination of content that we create and that our users create. All materials published on our sites, including, but not limited to, written content, photographs, graphics, images, illustrations, marks, logos, sound or video clips, and Flash animation, are protected by our copyrights.

Also it does not support StumbleUpon stating that SU does not support RSS which is not true.

2008-03-13T13:19:00.000Z

You wrote a very extensive review of this particular corner of the web world, and is thus very helpful. When I was looking for a lifestreaming aggregator I only saw about half of these.

I chose Second|Brain because, in addition to working, I liked the way one can organize the materials going into the service. It imports del.icio.us tags so you have a built in tag cloud. It knows about content types so you can filter the list you are looking at by type. It also has collections that let you bundle together content into related materials.

As the content grows over time this kind of organization is essential if you want to get back to what you have put into the system.

Nice survey of the landscape. Seems that there are a few too many of these for them all to survive for very long.

If you still have any of those invites to socialthing, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks!

I am probably the only Asian to comment first in here and I just want to say thanks for smorty71 for the tweet. If not for that tweet I wouldn't know other sites. This time I guess you are right about the difficulty of having too many accounts (facebook and alike) because you have to track each one. To be honest it is my first time to hear about lifestreaming on twitter..looks fun..and will probably try soon but I have to read more articles like this to help me.

Thanks for the article :-)
