The yellow brick road

Recently I’ve given presentations on Social Networking in Drupal. In my mind, status updates are a central tenet of any successful social networking platform, which is why I built the Facebook-style Statuses module for Drupal. There’s more to social networking than status updates though. In this post I’m going to go through some of the standard features of social networks to identify some of the places I hope Drupal will grow. read more »

Case Study: How Drupal is Helping the Medical Advertising Community

Jul 22, 2009

We recently completed a relatively small, but really cool Drupal v6 microsite that exemplifies to me how open-source is impacting traditional advertising channels (i.e. print, TV, radio, etc.).
