A quick pitch for Joomla versus Drupal

June 25, 2010

0

The (Joomla versus Drupal) scaling issue is mostly about hosting the content of the site and making requests for information to a server (hopefully in the cloud, where all of our heads should be by now). That server however, could reside underneath your friend Neal's desk somewhere, but with a cloud partner like Amazon you have technical support, tiered expansion and costs and let's face it, Neal sleeps."

There was something I liked too, about what Jason must have learned from his father. The enormous interest rates and late fees credit card companies change consumers is a large problem. So many people are in debt, or have debt war stories. RevolutionMoney was sounding like EvolutionMoney.

Recorded during an earlier interview. Drupal is often referred to as a content management system but it’s also a web framework. It’s basically a PHP web application framework in the same way that Rails is a web application framework for Ruby, Drupal is a web application framework for PHP. But it’s really focused on CMS that’s built on top of it but it’s really, really flexible. And so there are all these modules out there that can add, basically sort of fundamentally change the way that Drupal works.

Recorded from an earlier interview. User gen video does not have to be either semi-professional or sound really extremist, crazy, dangerous active of trying to light something on fire or jump off a building or something and so user gen has ways to develop I think and it can be much more informative and purpose-driven than it is now.

...one of the challenges of all the bloggers and all of their followers including you know new media and more you know creative ways of telling stories and that kind of thing. As more and more of that comes there is also a greater risk for inaccurate materials and inadvertent direction of readers if people talking an information. Now do you think AirCongress and other companies are that are other organizations that are collecting news online doing a good job at trying to help people be better reporter?
