That type of system is usually called a "Tumblelog" - and you can find a lot of info in these two articles below. Ryan's uses generic foreign keys and an "intermediary" object, so to speak, so that you just query that one object and it knows about all instances of your app1/app2/app3 models. This would require a bit of re-processing of data, basically just doing looping over all the items in app1/app2/app3 and creating the necessary intermediate (which he calls StreamItem). Alex's "Timeline view" covers how to take your app1.object.all / ... info and merge them into one with no intermediate (make sure you read the comments, there is additional helpful discussion on performance and other methods there)
