Using Gregarius as a LifeStream
I have been using web-based services like Twitter , Jaiku , Flickr and del.icio.us for a while now and am really enjoying it , but wanted a way to bring all this content together and keep a personal archive. This desire started when I signed up with friendfeed.com , which brings all your feeds together and also has a social networking slant so that its easy to "follow" your friends and see what they are up to. The problem for me is that the data is out of my control and I don't really like the layout.
For my own attempt I initially tried Rick's rss-stream plug-in for WordPress and although this looks nice and clean it doesn't archive the data so I dismissed it.
Next I turned to web based RSS readers , having used Gregarius for a good while before moving to Google Reader I thought I'd give this a try , I like its clean and good looking default theme.
The installation of Gregarius went well and is pretty easy by following the enclosed INSTALL file , check out the results in our lifestream at lifestream.weloveit.info and see what you think , if you have any thoughts , need more details or want some help , then use the comments section below.
So far its displaying and archiving :-
- Jaiku's from Marie-Laure and myself.
- Twitter's from me.
- Our opensource.weloveit.info site.
- Our gardening.weloveit.info blog.
- Our media.weloveit.info blog.
- Emma's health.weloveit.info site.
- Scott's cycling-uk.weloveit.info site.
- Our photoblog.weloveit.info blog.
- My StumbleUpon Favorites. - feed isn't being picked up for some reason.
- My shared items in Google Reader.
