Comment (by r-a-y):

 Sweet!  This will definitely be a great feature for 2.0.

 Some quick thoughts:

 * Instead of introducing a new static method
 (`BP_Activity_Activity::get_lastest_recorded()`), would it be better to
 improve the existing `BP_Activity_Activity::get_last_updated()` static
 method instead?

 * Instead of checking against the `date_recorded` column, would it be
 better to use the `id` column?

 * I'm surprised we don't have a `bp_is_activity_directory()` function!

 We'll also need an option to disable the Heartbeat feature for sites that
 want to turn it off.  Other than that, I think it's a very good start!
