Latest Links: social networking platforms and more...

First, some social software links.

BuddyPress â Creating a Social Network based on Wordpress MU
"There is talk of BuddyPress and DiSo essentially being the same thing. DiSo, from what Iâve read so far, is all about distributing your user-generated content first using Wordpress as the central tool. BuddyPress is more about turning Wordpress (MU in fact) itself into its own niche social network."
Elgg: the open source social networking platform
"Elgg is an open-source social networking platform. It offers blogging, networking, community, collecting of news using feeds aggregation and file sharing features. Everything can be shared among users with access controls and everything can be cataloged by tags as well"

CISCO's Entertainment Operating System (EOS) is a "platform that will be used to deliver video and other multimedia content to online community properties" with "social networking and content recommendation"
BadMagicNumber: Shipping software

IBM demos âOn Demand Workplaceâ
"Employees have their own profiles based on content and function. Personalization is also allowed via imported Google Gadgets and RSS feeds" with screen shots
Web 2.0 Can Be Dangerous (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

Micro Persuasion: Reader Integrates Google's Stealth Social Net: The Address Book

And second, some feel-good PHP, Rails and Linux links.

Michael Kimsal: Continued sad state of PHP development
"with every release also comes fears of tiny, sometimes undocumented, changes that break existing code, and often for no solid reason"
ZSFA -- Rails Is A Ghetto (2007-12-31)
"If anyone had known Rails was that unstable they would have laughed in his face. Think about it further, this means that the creator of Rails in his flagship products could not keep them running for longer than 4 minutes on average."
Linux defector says RHEL zero, Sun Solaris hero
"Solaris ultimately has a lower acquisition cost because it includes features that users are likely to purchase separately in a Linux environment."
