Fastcompany.com Goes Social with Drupal


By Jeff Whatcott - Posted on 08 February 2008

The new version of Fast Company that James Walker of Lullabot mentioned in January has now gone live and it’s been Techcrunched.

Fastcompany.com

This site is a great illustration of the kind of “social publishing” that I was talking about in yesterday’s post. It is a blend of traditional content publishing, community/user generated content, and social networking.

It’s not surprising that they chose Drupal to implement their vision. No other social publishing platform would have provided as much flexibilty, support, and pre-built functionality.

It’s great to see that the TechCrunch writeup mentions Drupal by name, as does Robert Scoble’s post about joining the company. Kudos to the Lullabots, Achieve Internet, Treehouse, Advomatic and the Mansueto Team for the creation of the site.

Is it only me who upgrades to the latest drupal maintenance release?

Probably you and Drupal.org ;-)

Kudos also to the other heavy lifters Achieve Internet, Treehouse, Advomatic and the Mansueto Team.

good point. I’ll update the post.

Hey! Thanks for a nice post, I like your style:D I've bookmarked this page, so if others are interested here is the location of bookmark http://www.searchallinone.com/Other/OmniGraffle_Wireframe_Palette__urlgreyhot-2/

Man this is what I want to create. It looks slick, it has a great social environment, and it works. I've been developing in Drupal for a year now and I'm no where close to this. I would love to implement some of these futures on my Visual Basic site. Currently the only social aspect to the page is being able to add comments or chat in the forum. I would love to include this on pages such as my VB6 Database area where people ask development questions.
