Streams are central to what we’re doing also.

I have recently proposed 2 new ‘Streams’ that compliment the concept of a ‘Lifestream’.

I call them AttentStreams and AudientStreams.

You can read more about them here: http://www.particls.com/blog/2007/05/life-after-pageviews-proposing.html

Also - we have just released our new Particls Sidebar into the wild which I would call a Persistent, animated stream of events and news that matter to you. An AudientStream or River of news like nothing before it.

We are also about to announce a web-service to convert Lifestreams into APML (www.apml.org) - Drop me a line for some inside info

[...] Just read the Bokardo post “welcome to the stream” which got me thinking — with RIAs, we are increasingly getting away from the single path through a website. We interact with an application without page refreshes, we want to be able to define our own paths or interactions. So how is it that this tendency towards ’streaming’ is arising? By its very definition, a stream flows in a single direction towards an endpoint. In the web manifestation, it is linearized in terms of time. It is the blog post as opposed to the wiki.. [...]

I believe that Flickr was one of the very first to use the term “stream” when it launched a few years ago… ie. their Flickr stream of photos. Everyone else has just coined that concept from them.

I call it the “stream of consciousness” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_of_consciousness_%28psychology%29) — although not necessarily “thoughts as words” for people, it kind of represents the “thoughts” of any particular social website. Some are more conscious than others; Twitter certainly has a lot more of the immediacy involved in consciousness than an RSS reader.

In a way, it’s the true push/pull Web. With all this talk about the Semantic read/write Web, people seem to forget that push/pull is just as significant a change to the overall architecture of how things work.

It reminds me of a technology described in David Brin’s Earth (a book that did a great job of fleshing out the cultural relevance of a worldwide data network in the 80’s) which largely involved subscribing to certain kinds of data on the book’s version of the Web and then being kept up to date on that information without having to put any extra effort in. It was a lot like Google Alerts. Except Google Alerts was only the beginning, wasn’t it?
