My Lifestream has gone through many different sources of feeds for my Xbox Live status. I think it started with the Live to Twitter ordeal, which was stupidly complicated and didn’t even work that well. More recently, I changed it to my 360voice feed, but it still wasn’t really what I wanted. I had been messing around with the 360voice API and trying to see what I needed to do to turn the XML into a standard RSS 2.0 feed. My attempts were fruitless, but I ended up contacting Squidpunch, a fellow 360 gamer and co-creator of The Live Eye, one of my favorite uses of the Xbox Developer Program features. Anyways, he very kindly agreed to help me out, and came up with a service that lists your gamertag and gamerscore daily through an RSS feed using the 360voice API. He’s also kindly hooked me up with the source code so I can learn something from it. I may alter the wording of the title and upload my own copy, but other than that it’s exactly what I want and finally have something good to fill my 360 slot with in my Lifestream. If you’d like to use this, too, check out Squidpunch’s 360voice API to RSS Format. He has more details there. Thanks again, Squidpunch.
