I submitted a patch to the activitystream module to allow it to hook into views properly. In this case the patch allows you to specify a specific source type (e.g. Twitter, Flickr, Digg, Del.icio.us, etc.) and display only that source in a view.
This is particularly useful for things like showing your twitter status in a block ala facebook.
Hopefully it comes in handy.
You can review the patch here.

The module is incredibly effective at moving files from a local files dir to S3 at save time, and has very little impact on a drupal install itself.
You can view the original powerpoint presentation, and download the (incredibly alpha) module as well.
There are a few drawbacks to this approach, as I mentioned in our talk:

The problem with merging two non-working copies in this case is that each one is about 54 megs of data. All in all, with the roundtrip to the server (twice!), the merge was taking about 45 minutes to complete.
The alternative is to do a "working copy" merge, where you merge between two working copies, back to the first one, like so:
* trunk - source working copy
* tags/prod - destination working copy
So say you're plugging along, developing like a madman (or woman), and, as can happen, your system needs a hard reboot.
It can happen. It's rare. Months will go by for most people without a crash. But when it does, well, MAMP doesn't like to play nice anymore.
The specific case that can happen:
