About
- ABOUT I remember stumbling upon Tim van Damme's Business Card after reading about his Antisocial Wordpress Theme design over at Woo Themes. I think this was around the same time I had been playing with the Lifestream Plugin for Wordpress on another site while being sort of annoyed at people from cross-posting all their items on multiple services, and the idea sort of hit me: Why not finally use the name domain I had purchased a while back to make my own lifestream/business card site?August 31, 2009 from This Site
- ABOUT The idea is this—instead of cross-posting all of my ongoings to various services like Twitter, Facebook, etc., why not make one place that could track everything I have going on? I hate the idea of cross-posting anyway, even though the Twitter/Facebook/RSS setup sure makes it easy. I like tailoring my message for each blog and social media outlet for the audience I have there, but then it is harder to find "me" in one place when I have accounts in so many.August 31, 2009 from This Site
- ABOUT Enter Lifestream. With Lifestream, you can add accounts from MANY places to your WordPress blog (see a screenshot of the Add section) and then use the Lifestream calls to pull that up to your site. (My version is pretty heavily modified - the base plugin may look a lot different.) I currently have several RSS feeds from various blogs, a Flickr stream, a Facebook feed, and my Twitter feed installed.August 31, 2009 from This Site
- ABOUT The Twitter'd Lifestream idea came from my general migration lately away from RSS feed readers to adding people to my Twitter account that I like to read, and then just following their links to see new and interesting content. The Twitter layout actually lends itself nicely to a Lifestream feed, and I had just redone my Twitter background with the That PHP GIrl superhero, so I wanted to use that as well.August 31, 2009 from This Site
