Adding your IT Conversations profile to Action Streams (click to enlarge)

The more you use sites on the Web for keeping track of our online lives and sharing things with friends, the more you'd like to have a place on your blog to gather them all together. I've had my del.icio.us feeds on my blog for a long time. I also used to put my tweets on my blog. I experimented with a Flickr widget and gave it up.

Now Mark Paschal has released a plugin for Movable Type called Action Streams that does that all nicely. There are dozens of services that you can add. I've included all that I use. You can see the result on the right side of this page under the "What I'm Doing" heading.

I also created a page about what I'm doing around the net that's an expanded version of the sidebar.

Mark has made it easy to add services. I created a plugin to add my personal program queue from IT Conversations in about 15 minutes. If you'd like to do the same, I've made a tarball and some instructions. Now whenever I add a program to my personal program queue, it will show up on my homepage automatically. I like automatic.
