I've been thinking about building such a thing for my sites.. It's perhaps a reasonably steep learning curve to work out how to do such a thing the right way but.. well what would you want in such a program?
It looks like you can build stuff on top of that life stream plug in?
I was thinking some kind of combination interactive data visualization of the stream form of navigation.. could it be that that we could discover new patterns in streams?
And then facilitating some kind of social interaction with the stream?
But then you probably don't really want your stream silod off on you site? Have it more like some notion of a distributed twitter architecture, or something like google wave?
But then I wonder if what we really need is like a multi layers / modular system.. As if to say different applications essentially remixed what other applications did.. something that could really only happen if sites were less walled gardens... but that you could chain these applications together in different ways to get different results.
What if we just radically rethought what a blog was?
I wish I was bumping into more conversations about this kinda thing...

It's clear to me that this is what needs to happen Matt. I watched a video where Matt Mullenweg of WP shared that he envisions having life streaming capabilities in future releases. And I think you might be right that Wave will change the game as to how this unfolds. What's clear is that so far, the functionality is locked up on platforms that are only interested in seizing the space.
