Glued! An Ajax Open Source Social Networking Script
Last week, I started a project named ‘Glued!‘ in the CakeForge. It is an open source social networking script. I came up with the idea of making the script since I needed to transform PinoyCallCenter.com to a social networking Web 2.0 web site. The script’s feature is more of a combination of friendster and myspace bundled with AJAX functionality. Yes you heard it right! Aint it cool? But unfortunately, the ajax feature will initially be implemented on the user’s control panel only. That is, it is only available when the user is logged in and changing his settings and configurations. Everything else like viewing friends, blogs, and contents will be the regulare ‘page refresh’ method. We need ‘page views’ too right?
For the next few weeks, I will be working on this new project during my free time and over the weekend when I always got nothing to do but laze at home. Honestly, I am still working on my CakePHP skills and I think ‘Glued!’ shall be a good way to practice.
I am thinking of the tagline ‘Glued! - Where everything connects’ since i foresee the script growing not only as a ’social networking’ script but a ‘content networking’ script as well. Aside from the people, contents will also be inter-related to each other by using tags or associations just like in a social networking site.
I was able to gather a few developers who are interested in helping for the development. Hopefully, everything works out well and they can help me out in the realization of this very important project.
