Huge kudos to Jon Paul Davies for creating Amplifeeder, and making it Open Source! Credit to Jon for the great looking themes he threw together, it makes it easier for a non-programmer to jump right in. I'll look forward to trying out a Ruby of Rails version if he makes it, but I doubt the average person will have a Microsoft Server to setup their lifestream on. SweetCron's built on the open source PHP framework CodeIgniter, which makes customizing and extending the system easy. Wanna add a feed outside of the default feeds? Likely someone's already posted a plug-in in the the active forum which has people posting in it daily. Sadly, the majority of Amplifeeder's community has gone quiet since the launch in May (forum's full of spam :S). Also, it's nice how easy it is to create filters in Sweetcron to clean up the noise and reduce redundancy across your feeds so that your subscribers don't get flooded.I look forward to hearing your reasons for choosing Amplifeeder. I'd love to hear what your experience has been like developing with Amplifeeder!
