Drupal and aggregation

Since everyone’s been talking about what Drupal can do, I thought I’d do a quick post showing how aggregation works on it. This was easy for me to set up because I’ve been building my personal site on Drupal for the past few months or so (not much spare time but I’m getting pretty happy with it).

What I’m really liking is the ability to lifestream, the major reason why I’m interested in using Drupal. Lifestream is aggregating all of your created content into one chronological post (i.e., stream). In the next image look at how the three posts are from Tumblr, Twitter, and Trunk.ly:

(although, amusingly, it is a little redundant since I currently use Tumblr to simultaneously publish to Facebook and Twitter and Trunk.ly sucks in those links…)
