| | I feel that PHP FOX and other commercial social networking scripts are way too costly for any new social networking site and that adds to the fact that these scripts need to be modified to help the site stand apart from being a clone of the more established players in the business.
I tried using PHP IZABi ,the script is slick and easy to use ,not to forget its fast but most of the important addons(modules,themes,hacks) are paid ,hence it doesn't fit the bill.
Instead of looking at stand alone solutions i started using Joomla,being targeted
towards everyone,joomla has a few limitations...Now i am trying out DRUPAl(v5.7) and have installed many mods....
However i feel the user friendliness of joomla is traded off while using Drupal.
However it is a good social networking platform for developers and designers who would like to go Open Source..... |

Anik, Your post was not a real tutorial (it's rather short and we don't have more technical knowledge after having read it). However, it's a very interesting topic, it gives us your real feeling about this, so it's precious for us. That's why I moved it here, where it's closer to it's real place. Regards Yordan

Microsoft Has Basically Declared War On Open Source!
(8) Hey all As a supporter of open source software and a user of Linux, I am angered at Microsuck's
latest actions and lawsuit threats towards Linux Kernel, GUI, OpenOffice.org, and many other open
source applications. All I have to say is, why the wait? Most of the stuff they're COMPLAINING
violates their patents is OLDER or JUST AS OLD as Windows. Also, they're leaving a lot out of
the lawsuits: Linux is based off of UNIX so they would have to then sue the creators and/or users
of UNIX... but wait, it gets better! They would then have to sue Apple because Mac....
Drupal 5 Released
(5) QUOTE After 8 months of development we are ready to release Drupal 5.0 to the world. Today is
also Drupal's 6th birthday, so the timing could not be more perfect. Drupal 4.0 was released in
2002 and finally we feel confident to increase the major version number from 4 to 5. Drupal powers
sites across the web, ranging from the personal weblog of Tim Berners-Lee, podcast sites like
TWIT.tv, community driven sites like SpreadFireFox.com, artist communities like Terminus 1525 to
large media sites like TheOnion.com, MTV and even sites for NASA. There have been over ....
Imeem "the Best Of Social Media"
(1) IMEEM! It's a popular website I've recently just discovered! It's got thousands of
members and thousands more songs, videos, pictures, blogs and everything else you could find. I
signed up for the site a few days ago and I like it a lot. It's up to date with the most recent
songs combined with songs from the past years. It's just like MySpace but it's a lighter
version of it. It uses AJAX scripting so the song you would currently be playing will not be
disturbed when adding comments, adding it to your playlist or favorites. It's very user-fri....
Web Based Online Desktops Or Webtops
Taking a look at eyeOS and Goowy (0) Recently I was intrigued by the discussion on Google web applications, and had looked into such
existing products or services. I came across two most interesting cases. 1) www.Goowy.com
(based on Macromedia Flex) 2) www.eyeOS.info (based on Ajax) It is better that you guys get a
first hand experience of both the webtops so that you can realize their pros and cons. A webtop
is a great concept, where you can have some handy tools on the internet and use them from anywhere
in the world. You can set your own personalized wallpaper, themes as they suite you. ....
[meebo] Meebo Me! Widget
Chat with users browsing your site (6) I was introduced to Meebo by users on this forum and have been hooked to it ever since. Now, the
little startup has added a new feature which surely isn't available in any of the major IM
service providers. The Meebo Me! Widget is essentially a piece of code which you embed into your
website code, say in a column to the side of the main content. It allows users visiting your site to
chat with you without leaving the same page. The visitor appears as a contact on your messenger list
with whom you can interact as he/she is browsing thru your site. Take a look he....
Hamachi
Local Networking... world wide! (12) Lately, a few of my friends have been talking about this program called Hamachi. If you don't
know, it basically allows you to start a network with a bunch of your friends. It basically is like
having all your friends on your LAN. You can share files, play games, etc. as if they were there!
You can also play games with them LAN style instead of over the Internet. It's pretty cool!
Check out the hamachi website at http://www.hamachi.cc F....

screenshot: Looks terrific - am just waiting excitedly for someone to log on and test it's

exact replica of GTalk. You can pop the chat dialog out as a separate window or simply keep it
floating inside your Gmail page. Awesome. Here are the pop-in and pop-out mode screen-shots....

Sony Stole Open Source Source Code From *dvd* John
Sonys anti-DRM software violates (L)GPL (11) As you may or may not know, SONY has released a Anti- DRM root kit. Allowing home users to remove
copy protection and other nasties on media they own legally. However, it seems that Open source
programmers have been analysing the Closed Source Software, and found that it contains many
functions and lines of code stolen directly from open source projects such as LAME (an Mp3 encoder)
and deCSS ( de-crypts DVD video) The Open Source Licences these projects are released by allow
anyone to use the code, however they demand that any modifications of the code, of programs d....
Browsershots
Open-source browser screenshot project (2) I believe a lot of us find testing our sites in different browser quite the problem. There are sites
that do provide screenshots of your site in different browsers, some good ones are BrowserCam and
SiteVista , but these services often require payment, which might be okay for full-time working
professional developers, but is not practical for hobbyists like me. Surfing around, I found
Browsershots , which is an open-source, free version of such services. They have a main server and
"screenshot factories" to handle the workload, and true to the open-source spirit, the....
