SweetCron is a bit of self-hosted lifestreaming software from Yongfook, the creator of opensourcefood. It’s kind of like a hybrid of Tumblr and Friendfeed. While SweetCron hasn’t officially been released yet, Yongfook is already using it on his own blog, so we’ve a pretty clear idea of what you can do with it: feed in photos, videos, status updates, bookmarks, etc, each with a distinct look, so a reader can distinguish content types at a glance.
If this sounds a bit like Tumblr, that’s probably because part of it uses the Tumblr API. SweetCron is customizable and extensible via new PHP classes, though, and it lives on your own domain, so you have greater control over the data you’re feeding into it. The basic theme can be seen on Yongfook’s blog, where he’s testing it out, but he says you’ll be able to develop your own themes through a template editor. If you’re interested in SweetCron, sign up to be notified when it launches.
