Your Digital Life Stream
Oh so close!
For a while I have been looking for a way to aggregate all my online activities (blogs, del.icio.us, flickr, digg etc) into a stream on this blog. For an idea of what a “digital stream” is take a look at Emily Chang’s. There are a couple of wordpress plugins available but they are new and pretty much…..dont work.
I came across Jaiku.com which offers exactly the type of thing I was looking for, bar one slight problem, I cant have it hosted on my own site! In fact Jaiku would be absolutely perfect if the added the ability to embed the stream. Nudge Nudge.
Jaiku is a site I would usually recommend but I have encountered quite a major bug/problem - I can’t login. At first I thought I might have a bad password/username but after double checking the welcome email (twice) it still wont work. Further more when I try and use the “Forgot My Password” feature it doesn’t recognize my email or username.
I was able to login at first and start creating my Digital Stream which can be found at anthony.jaiku.com. So why am I winging about it here? Its amazing how quickly problems are fixed when posted on this blog!
Check it out here and then whine about it here

Hi Anthony, you are right, the problem probably gets fixed pretty soon
We’ll contact you as soon as we’ve found out what is wrong. (We haven’t have any problems with this feature earlier, but let’s see …)
How would you like to embed the Jaiku stream? People are talking more and more about “microblogging” and Jaiku, so we are taking these suggestion quite seriously
Thanks for blogging about us!
Hi Anthony.
I’ve manually confirmed the email address you used to sign up. You should be able to request a new password now, and have it come through to that address
If this doesn’t work, you can reach me at the email address I provided above.
Happy Jaikuing!
Well its all working just fine now. Thanks!
I would want to integrate it so that it can be placed on a page and have the look and feel of the actual Jaiku stream. Not sure about the technical details
Glad to hear you’re up and running again.
I’ll leave one of our team who’s more involved in the design side to answer your integration question - personally, I couldn’t design my way out of a wet paper bag.
I do know that we have presence ‘badges’ at the moment, but they only show your latest Jaiku (we’ve also got some new ones on the drawing board). I get the feeling you’re looking for something more like ‘my last 10′ whatevers? Including Jaikus, Diggs, posts, photos, etc etc?
