New Action Stream: TripIt Activity
Published on Thursday, April 10 2008

As regular readers of Open Parenthesis know, I’ve been using Movable Type Open Source (and particularly the Action Streams plugin) on JohnEckman.com to create a life stream of activity.
It’s basically a roll-your-own lifestream, though for now at least it isn’t integrated to anyone else’s streams, as in Friendfeed or Socialthing.
This morning I posted a new plugin which picks up TripIt Activity Streams.
TripIt’s activity stream is a private Atom feed which posts an item whenever you begin a trip, complete a trip, or start planning a trip. For example, here’s a recent entry from my feed:

You can download the plugin from the MTAS page.


John, that is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. This is exactly the type of response I was hoping for when we released our feeds, bravo!
