Create context and meaning with Sweetcron

The issue of having multiple sites is to know when to update which site and with what. It’s just so easy to let one site suffer, even though that really wasn’t your intention.

I have had that issue with my personal English website, 030176.com. I updated in bursts and found that that was good - but also discovered the pain when there was too far between regular updates.

Well, I think I have solved that now. The solution is called Sweetcron and it’s a free-for-all lifestream aggregator, you install on your server and use to aggregate the updates you make on blogs, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter…whatever really.

It even presents it in a nice way, and I have to be honest and admit that the format makes me get lifestreaming. It’s actually fun to look back and see what I was thinking about, what I was shooting pictures of etc. etc. And this without feeling bad about not updating the site per se.

As a self-employed individual going back every once in a while and browse the archives can help you to understand why you did, what you did, when you did it - and what you got out of it. In that way it’s not only a lifestreamer - it’s also a meaning aggregator. Hopefully at least.
