These are my del.icio.us links for April 7th

How to make a “child theme” for WordPress. A pictorial introduction for beginners – op111.net –
The best instructions for creating a child theme for WordPress that I’ve found.
Auto Follow On Twitter – Twollow –
A tool that lets you add users who twitter certain words automatically, excellent for bulking up follow lists on corporate twitter feeds.
Experiments in Social Media Marketing: A Recap – PSFK.com –
Wowser. Industry blog PSFK pull out an awesome piece of research into the effect of Social Media strategy in promoting their own blog. Marketeers and Bloggers – this should be top of your reading list.
Time Zone Check –
The ultimate timezone tool – I should use this more often to avoid increasingly regular transnational teleconference embarrassment.
Pinch Media » ‘AppStore Secrets’ –
The killer factsheet on iPhone app usage. Essential reading for all mobile marketers. Thanks for sharing, Pinch, this is truly awesome.

SweetCron has failed me. There, I said it.

Though you can still access my experimental lifestream at http://digitalcortex.net/stream, I hope it’ll soon be replaced with this cool new open-source lifestreaming tool from jonpauldavies. Key features are:

Looks to be especially good at styling, with several themes ready out of the box.
16 built-in social services with RSS input for those other fiddly ones no-one really uses.
Graphing tools built-in for crispy pie charts etc.

Plus, the PR job he’s doing over at lifestreamblog.com will work wonders at driving support, the main reason SweetCron is lagging behind. Check it out:

These are my del.icio.us links for December 15th

Team WhiteBoarding with Twiddla – Painless Team Collaboration for the Web –

Yes I know, late to the scene, but I see Vimeo as a more grown-up YouTube, and one worthy of more respect than it seems to get. Loving their line in HD videos too.

The first of many Sweetcron collabs? We need more support!
