From ReadWriteWeb: 35 Ways to Stream Your Life

It's
a pretty good bet that if you're not making a Twitter or Facebook
application, you're probably making a lifestreaming application. Okay,
so not everyone is into lifestreaming, but it is one of the hottest
areas for development out there, and there are an overwhelming amount
of services offering a way to aggregate all the little bits of your
online life (which, for the purpose of this post, is the definition of
lifestreaming that we'll use). Richard MacManus wrote an excellent primer
on lifestreaming in January, but we touched on just 5 such services.
The purpose of this post, rather than to review, is to just list the
various options out there.

Lifestreaming apps generally fall into two categories: those that
help you keep track of and display your own lifestream and those that
help you keep track of your friend's lifestreams (or both). For the
sake of clarity, we've focused mainly on the former for this list.

 

• Tumblr - Tumblr is a microblogging application that also allows the inclusion of activity streams from other services.
• Onaswarm - Onaswarm, which is in private beta, is a dedicated lifestreaming app that supports a wide variety of other services.
• Jaiku - The chief function of
  Jaiku, as a presence app similar to Twitter, is enhanced by letting
  users aggregate activity from outside services.
• Lifestrea.ms - Lifestrea.ms -- in closed beta -- is a dedicated activity stream aggregator that quotes our review in the company line by calling itself a "standards based nerve center."
• Soup.io - Similar to Tumblr,
  Soup.io is a microblogging application. It also supports outside status
  updates for 11 services and any RSS feed.
• FriendFeed - Due to being
  founded by a bunch of ex-Googlers, FriendFeed might hold the crown for
  most talked about lifestreaming app. It supports nearly 30 web sites.
• MyBlogLog - MyBlogLog, which specializes in creating ad-hoc social networks around blogs, just got into lifestreaming with an update last night.
• Profilactic - Profilactic supports 135 sites. Yes, 135 sites.  As well as the ability to add your own.  Have fun.

  graphs which sites you use the most, all with the design sensibilities
  of del.icio.us.
• ProfileFly - Focused on social
  networks, ProfileFly creates a replacement profile that mashes up
  status updates from your existing social profiles.
• Second Brain - Second Brain
  takes takes a slightly less automatic approach to life streaming by
  asking that you categorize and group your activity into collections.
  See our review.
