@nippur: I don’t know of an activity streams plugin for Joomla and a quick Google search turned up zero related results. Perhaps an opportunity for you?

Great post, chris!

The examples on your wiki hepled me to implement my own version of a primitive activity stream.

i’d like to know if there are any efforts to implement this kind of plugin for joomla. So far i have seen some plugins for wordpress.
Do you know of any development effort beeing made for joomla?

A very timely post Chris. We’re soon going to see an explosion in location based services take place and players in that space would do well to heed your advice and ensure they can effectively associate stream data with real-world objects where appropriate. I think we’ll see a slight shift in focus from being purely people based, i.e. the “it’s all about me” social factor; to us becoming obsessed with, “tell me about…” exploration as a result of attaching contextualised geo-coded feeds to real-world objects.

FYI, there exists a new Ejabberd-OpenID module and an Ejabberd-AtomPub module is being written.

They might be of interest, IMHO.

BTW, the OpenID form considers that the length of my base64 OpenID URL is too long, hence the truncating on my first comment.

Great post.
I think this standard should include also the notion of importance.
Today when you subscribe to so many activity streams, they start to get the problem with RSS - there are too many things to read.

If you tweet about a new job you got, I’m sure you see this as a very important thing that is important enough to push to al your friends.
While if I just tweet a remark about the game I watch now, I understand that it’s not important enough to interrupt my friends activity at the moment.

Thanks for kicking this off Chris. We’ve done a lot of thinking about this as well at MyBlogLog and Yahoo and look forward to contributing to this discussion to include more services.

Don’t forget the translation of these verbs into additional languages as well as shorter representations for mobile interfaces.

One thing I would advise today is the grouping that you talk about needs a time-sensitive trigger. On MyBlogLog we group a user’s tweets into hourly clusters for the first 24 hours but after that we group all tweets into daily clusters. Otherwise twitter (last.fm also shows this trait) tends to dominate the lifestream.

An example of this idea applied to Twitter by an experimental version of my actionstream plugin:
