Our Joomla! Blog: Featured Sites

VI OVER 60 is a Norwegian (paper) magazine, that now also has a website to be proud of.

"VI OVER 60" loosely translates to "THOSE OF US ABOVE 60", and is a Norwegian site for seniors which contains articles on law, economy and health.

PeopleBrowsr is an new and rising phenomenon in the social networking scene.  PeopleBrowsr is a first-of-a-kind meta-network for social networks (twitter, and so on), combining the best features from all of the popular add-on services into one solution - without requiring a download or a browser plug-in.  But what also makes PeopleBrowsr unique is that it is powered by the Joomla CMS platform - and a dash of JXtended technology.

Sydney based Jodee Rich assembled a team of master designers and developers form around the world, including JXtended's own Andrew Eddie.  The rich graphical interface is pivotal to the success of this web site, but at it's core is the Joomla platform ensuring that all the information required by the web site is being served at the appropriate time.  Joomla's extensible authentication system also forms the basis of the power behind the ability to register all of your social networking accounts in one location.

Be sure to add PeopleBrowsr to your "must see" list.  It really is revolutionary to use, but even if you aren't into the social network scene, it's a fine example of the innovation that Joomla can inspire.
