AmpliFeeder: FriendFeed's Much Hotter Sister. There are a slew of social media aggregation sites willing, waiting, and wanting to pull your updates, videos, photos, links, music, "shares," "likes," and other content from all around the web.
A few of them work well, some have really cool features, and others have critical mass. But none of them are as drop-dead good-looking - or as customizable - as AmpliFeeder, a free, open-source distributed social activity aggregator. The only major drawback: It's the kind of web app that needs to be installed on a server. But a hosted version is in the works, and the screen shots prove it's so worth the effort.
AmpliFeeder aggregates items from Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Google Shared Items, Tumblr, Digg, Reddit, LastFM, Stumbleupon, Delicious, Upcoming, Mixx, BrightKite, and more. Perhaps best of all, it'll automagically import any of the services you link to through FriendFeed, making your new site setup time about 30 seconds: And then, a couple themes go all-out on the visualization: Free Lifestream Application: AmpliFeeder. Besides anything we write on a website, we also create content on 3rd party services by: uploading images, videos (Flickr, Youtube..)saving bookmaks or voting (Delicious, Digg..)listening to music (Last.fm..)logging "what we are doing right now" (Twitter, Facebook..)
& more.. AmpliFeeder is an open source lifestream application which can combine every activity we have on other services & present them. The application is already integrated with many popular services & new ones can be added easily. The look & feel can be totally customized with the theming support (there are 10+ ready-to-use themes). AmpliFeeder is built with ASP.NET & uses MSSQL for storing the data. P.S. AmpliFeeder - GitHub. Amplifeeder: A Distributed Social Activity Aggregator. With a personal blog, a Flickr account and Twitter you could say that my online identity is all over the place.
My blog does show my last 5 tweets and a random selection of Flickr photos but the main thing you notice when you visit it is that I haven’t been regularly blogging lately. IT simply isn’t a good representation of all my activities online. It looks like we are all waiting for a new format to bring all our online content together in one place. Is FriendFeed the solution? The next version of WordPress maybe? Nobody really knows. Amplifeeder (‘a distributed social activity aggregator’) hopes to offer a solution to at least combine all your feeds in one screen. As a test I have set-up my own Lifestream page at As you can see it all works just fine.
Conclusion: I don’t see myself abandoning my blog OR putting the address of my Lifestream on my business cards on anything like that. The downside? You have nothing to lose by setting up your own Lifestream there so why not give it a try? Pubwich — Open-source online data aggregation PHP application. Storytlr open source.
