Scott, always great to hear when other's "get" the concept of lifestreaming! Came across your post when I saw @abounding's comment (on Friendfeed, ironically). I'm as well using Sweetcron on my site http://mitchmckenna.com It's good to hear Storytlr is open sourcing their code too! I participate on a lot of various social networks; sharing relevant information I find to friendfeed, twitter etc. One use I've noticed is that for those who don't use those services, but still want to stay informed, they go to my site or follow my RSS for that category.Even though Yong Fook is busy pursuing other ventures, the Sweetcron forums are still active and a lot of people are still developing on it on their own. Some even talk of creating a fork with several dedicated developers. I've been working on improvements. I'm currently using a lot of filters so that cross-platform posts don't create duplicate content, so there isn't, for example, a long series of tweets. I think it'll be interesting to see where Sweetcron goes!
