It seems to me that the biggest thing on the web right now is social networking. One of the more popular site out there is MySpace. MySpace allows people to create accounts where they can post pictures, music, or personal information. The reason why it’s a social networking site is that users can exist on a network. A network is a virtual list of users all tied together through the network. This allows them to easily see what the other users on the network are doing with there lives. Open-sourcing is a popular way to develop software. For example, this blog is running using WordPress, which is an open-source blogging engine. Open-source means that you can see the source code. Blogging and content management seem to be popular open-source projects. I really would love to make an open-source MySpace type engine. I think that if people had the ability to completely tweak their personal site, they would love it. If anyone would like to join in this project, please tell me and we’ll see if we can start something up.
