I ran accross Sweetcron the other day while kicking around the internet and it is really cool. It is a online life streaming software that allows you to aggregate your own personal web content in one place. So if you have a blog, use twitter or any other online service that generates a feed, you can feed it into your Sweetcron site to create an up to date time line of all of your online activities.

I took the opportunity today to try it out and install it on http://www.ohdatsnice.com. Instillation was super simple and themeing the content for a personalized took no time at all…I currently only have it hooked up to my blog, but their api makes it super simple to customize the interface and the content. It does take a little knowledge of PHP/HTML/CSS but if you are a web designer or dev guy, you will see that it is cake to set up and get going and to tell you the truth they make it really easy for the weekend warrior blogger to figure it out too.

Out of the box it pulls your entire feed content but in my example you see that I pulled out all the content and only left the title of the post and the posting date, with the blocks linking back to my articles…so you could use this software to suplement your current blogs etc…

All in all, I would recommend Sweetcron to anyone looking to keep all of their online activity in one place and I really think that this concept of lifestreaming is really going to take off…

Here is another example of a Sweetcron based site: http://www.yongfook.com

I haven’t checked my stats for my Grub on the Go! iPhone app in a few months because work has been crazy, but I had a chance to check today and I couldn’t believe my eyes. According to Google analytics I have had 79,469 unique visitors, 143,238 total visits with an average time searching 1.3 minutes over about an 8 month period…wow, that is kind of awesome especially if you think  the average person probably runs about 3 or 4 searches per visit…that is like 400,000 plus searches in 8 months…crazy…Thanks to everyone who is using my app, and thanks for all the positive feedback. Just thought I’d share, Cheers.

In this update I added in reviewers photos, names and links to their profiles on yelp…

This is an update to my original Yelp Search Widget for the iPhone…I hated the UI for the original, so I decided to rework it…this is still a work in progress…my next steps are to use prototype and scriptaculous to add in sliding transitions between the search, business list, and full business post views…i also want to add in the ability to save favorite places…in any case, if you have an iPhone, enjoy…
