  • feels like it's become just another channel for spam and self-promotion. is it just the arrival of the mainstream? like when aol hit usenet? 22 hrs ago
  • Twitter's shine is officially gone for me. maybe I'm just tired, or its the global economic collapse, bit I'm finding it hard to tweet. 23 hrs ago
  • Thinking of writing a song about conference rooms and how much alike they all are. Sort of like "homeward bound" by S&G but not as good 1 day ago

New Action Stream: TripIt Activity

Tagged with: , , , , , , — John @ 11:30 am

TripIt
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!
