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.
The JXtended Team - Rob Schley, Louis Landry and Andrew Eddie - is currently in Australia, having met with the other Joomla Development Coordinators for the first ever Joomla Development Summit - a grueling four days of whiteboard planning and coding. We are very excited to announce that we are donating a number of JXtended technologies to the Joomla 1.6 source.
Comments
We are donating our Comments extension to Joomla 1.6. We feel very strongly that this move, along with access control improvements, will put Joomla in better standing with other Content Management Systems. We will still be releasing and supporting the commercial version for Joomla 1.5 but will be providing an upgrade path to Joomla 1.6. Comments for Joomla 1.6 will go into the core just prior to the first public beta release. Choosing JXtended Comments now gives you the smoothest transition into Joomla 1.6.
