My lifestream is, and always has been, powered by my own code, written in Python and Django. Cool piece, though! Thanks for including me in it. :) To be clear: I never have, nor do I now, use Tumblr.

First, thanks for mentioning Profilactic. We really appreciate it. Second, wanted to clarify that Profilactic also allows you to filter feeds out of your mashup. We're just about to roll out the same functionality for your friends' stuff as well. And third, no one supports as many sites as we do. We currently support 125 sites by default and allow you to add unlimited custom sites. I think that is an advantage we have over just about any aggregator out there. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Hi Matt,

So it outputs a feed that can be really useful to keep track of what your friends are up to. If your friends are twittering too much you can tune that stuff out with filters, which are applied to the site but also can be applied to the rss output.

So you probably wouldn't actually follow it like a feed. This is different than a feed reader, but I guess similar in a way, it is where you show every thing that you do.

I probably isn't as focused as some of those other things, but if it has a feed then I can pull it into Netvibes and I can organize everything into tabs and categories.

We appreciate it. I would like to point out that Profilactic also allows you to filter content within your mashup. Any feed that you list in your mashup can be toggled on or off. We are also just about ready to launch a few feature enhancements including the ability to filter your friends' content, too. For example, if you follow someone who has great blog posts and interesting Flickr photos, but really annoying Twitter updates, you can turn the Twitter feed off for that friend. This will allow you to only get the content you care about. Thanks again for mention. Matt,

I really like when people that create apps give feedback on blogs. It shows they actively follow and care about what people think of their product. Iminta gets a big star from me today.

So, for example, you can filter out your last.fm songs (but keep the weekly artist report).

It's pretty cool. * I know, they used to be scary, but I think they listened to the accusations of spam and cleaned up their act.
