Activity stream
An activity stream is a list of recent activities performed by an individual, typically on a single website. For example, Facebook's News Feed is an activity stream. Since the introduction of the News Feed on September 6, 2006,[1] other major websites have introduced similar implementations for their own users. Since the proliferation of the activity stream on websites, there have been calls to standardize the format so that websites could interact with a stream provided by another website. The Activity Streams project, for example, is an effort to develop an activity stream protocol to syndicate activities across social Web applications.[2] Several major websites with activity stream implementations have already opened up their activity streams to developers to use, including Facebook and MySpace.[3][4]
Examples
- Facebook's News Feed[3]
- MySpace[4]
- Salesforce.com's Chatter[5]
- Traction TeamPage Release 5.0 adds activity streams to Enterprise 2.0 social software platform [6]
- Ektron CMS400.NET Release 8.0 adds activity streams to its social software suite [7]
