I recently tried my hands at using Sweetcron which is a lifestream application. You can visualize it as Friendfeed as a CMS which will display your feeds using RSS.

I had to find a decent commenting system and I found three credible options

Some of the interesting and useful features of Disqus being threaded comments and comment ratings. Disqus does well in filtering out spam and unwanted comments and moderation of comments can be done by email or mobile.
Internet has become a more beautiful place now than it used to be till few years back. I am saying this in terms of beauty of the web designs. The look and feel of the websites are now much better than what they used to be. The continuous evolution in the web designing technologies have contributed immensely towards the beautification of websites. One of the worst part of website till sometime back used to be its 404 error page but now things have changed for good. The designers themselves don’t like the weird 404 error pages and that is perhaps major reason why these less frequently seen pages are sporting some color and statement. Let’s take a look at some of the beautiful and simple 404 error pages.
The iPhone is the darling of Cocoa developers and it is worth a research on how iPhone made it big by the immense support provided by theses developers in the form of apps they made.

Meanwhile there’s something that doesn’t need everyone to be a Cocoa techie in order to participate. We are talking about themes and following are the ones that we really adore. Take a look.
Twitter started as a micro blogging network but it has now transitioned into a full fledged social network.

JustSkins has always been our initiative to wear the love we have for WordPress on our sleeves. JustSkins is everything that we love about WordPress and the fact that some of the free WordPress themes that we created are still popular bear testimony. It was a indeed a great news when we heard that first ever WordCamp India is going to be held in Noida which is another satellite town of New Delhi just like Gurgaon where we are based. The WordCamp India was held on February 21 & 22 and it is now over leaving us some good memories of Matt Mullenweg and Om Malik who have always been our mentors in our initiative.
It was the first ever major event on WordPress in India and the presence of Om Malik and Matt Mullenweg was some affirmation that it would be great. WordCamp India was held in Adobe office in Noida which also happens to be the most colorful building in Noida.
I did a post on Firefox extensions for an Information Whore some time back and it was that phase when I used to spend over five hours daily reading RSS feeds of various websites. Things have improved a little but my latest obsession is now Twitter and I end up spending the whole day reading tweets of others and posting some of my own chirps.
I have used almost every Twitter plugin made for Mozilla Firefox and I have now come to a conclusion about certain Firefox extensions which I’d suggest to anyone who does a lot of tweeting. I don’t think there’s need of too many extensions to do something as simple as tweeting and I never recommend loading your Firefox with unnecessary plugins as it impacts the responsiveness of Firefox.
