keep up the work..maybe facebook stream
I know nothing about Facebook’s API or stream. If someone wants to be kind and gather a list of lean/small PHP classes that already grabs the info (I already have Twitter and Friendfeed) that would be great. Especially for Flickr and/or Twitpics.
why not adapt wp-lifestream plugin?
Awesome stuff @dimensionmedia! So looking forward to your releases on this!
maybe check out elgg.org for gpl feed plugins to use?

This may not be possible, but it might be nice to include users of Identi.ca (and Laconica servers) plus Openmicroblogger.org servers in this stream. Both use the OpenMicroBlogging protocol enabling users to post to Twitter and subscribe to friends on each platform.
Openmicroblogger.org in particular is heavily tied to WordPress plugins and themes already.
Cheers
Scotm, this might be possible. I’ll look into it. I’m more interested in the BuddyPress then “reinventing the wheel” on a lifestream or social plugin. Those have been done, and i’m still looking over the more popular ones to see if we can convert those WordPress plugins into BP. But I’ve got a feeling writing something custom is going to be alot more useful and unlimiting.
I don’t want to confuse buddypress with the various microblogging tools (twitter, laconica, etc.) but Openmicroblogger.org has taken the Twitter Tools for WordPress plugin, for example, and made it work with their platform so that you can post to Twitter from within Openmicroblogger (much like how it works wth WordPress).
More importantly, the OMB platform lets you ‘subscribe’ to your Twitter friends or other users so that their tweets complete with Gravatar can appear in your stream on the OMB network of servers. Having this ability to ‘pull’ your subscribed network of users, over and above a lifestream of your own tweets or whathaveyou, whould make the ‘social’ plugin in Buddypress even more powerful. Hope I explained this in some manner of clarity.
Cheers
check out twitme 1.7 plugin which integrates twitter fully for bp.
still work in progress
This is great stuff! Can’t wait until it is released!

Has anyone tried TwitterDash plugin seen here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitterdash/?
This successfully places your Twitter timeline on the dashboard in wpmu 2.7/buddypress beta2 and enables you to post updates to Twitter from a post form. Could this not be modified to appear in the users’ Buddypress profile?
Thx
Why don’t you wait for twitme 1.7 to come out !!!

I’m waiting, just exploring. BTW…the beta version you sent me gave me an error on the site. Is there a newer version? Any idea on timelines? 
Check the site out, update is that its been recoded ground up ! maybe Feb or March.
i started developing it, but i stopped my work because i read that someone was writing it..

Sorry for being a little slow on this topic, but activity streams are hard to wrap my mind around, mostly because I don’t quite get the technology. Does openmicroblogging — is this a viable part of Joseph Smarr’s so-called “social stack”? (I think they’ve moved on to calling it something else now, not “social stack,” but I digress…)
I’ll be building a version of a micro stream soon enough, or trying to adapt a former one (such as the “wire”?) to suit my own purposes.
As I understand it, there’s already a bit of a WordPress plugin:

Why rebuild the wheel, when it’s built? Perhaps we should borrow/resuse from that plugin
There’s a bit of development/discussion going on over here for WordPress itself:
