Activity Stream Drupal Module
Activity Stream is a Drupal module that lets you publish your social media content on your own website. With Activity Stream, every time you Twitter, post a link on Digg, or receive a Facebook notification, you can view that information on your Drupal site. Many add-on modules for popular social media sites and services extend the Activity Stream module. Here are a few of them:
Facebook: The current front-runner in the social media wars.
YouTube: Post video streams directly from YouTube.
Qik: Allows you to share live video from your mobile phone.
Identi.ca: A Twitter-like status update site with a few more features.
Blogger: Online blogging service.
Goodreads: A place to research and compare notes on books.
IMDB: All about movies and entertainment information.
Each registered user on your site can have his own set of activity streams. By default, they appear under the user profile section.
