Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynxâs Social Networking Features

,----[ Quote ]
| Social media and social networking are huge 
| now-a-days, with Twitter, Facebook and the 
| like being hugely successful at keeping 
| friends and family in touch. Now only that, 
| but social networks are huge for charities, 
| with many causes being supported and heavily 
| promoted via social networking. Corporations 
| and business use social networking too to 
| promote their products and services to users 
| in a manner which is so relevant that they 
| tend not to annoy as is generally the case 
| with more corporate advertising.

Murphy's Law: Do Open-Source Social Networks Matter?

,----[ Quote ]
| So what's the takeaway?  When open-source is just a vision or a programming
| goal, it can achieve its goals regardless of the size of the community that
| grows around it.  But when you throw social networking into the mix, open
| source development gets hit with a wrench.  While a number of interesting
| open alternatives to common, proprietary social networking platforms exist
| today, they are never going to be able to carry the kind of clout of the big
| social networks.  An open-source social network has to be the game-changing
| application like Twitter was to the normal Web back in 2006 -- you can't just
| copy the best and expect to find much success.
