Speakers made it very clear that Elgg was not for the person that needed to put up a generic social network to link people together. Facebook , LinkedIn , MySpace , and Twitter do that just fine. personally justified the trip because we are able to deploy Elgg for a large non-profit client and because I hadn’t seen Boston in a while. The question one finds asking themselves before taking any task of considerable effort is whether they really want to do it. This past weekend, I exerted some effort to get myself from Washington D.C.
E very time I leave my MySpace Page  to go over to Facebook, I see the power that questions can have on a business strategy and even one’s outlook on life. Meanwhile, MySpace continues to overuse Captchas and even warn users that they are leaving their site to go to Facebook , which is like warning Phillipe Petit that he’s stepping onto a tightrope. Hildy Gottlieb calls it “ reverse engineering I see, with my eyes,  one fundamental difference in how these two organizations think:
