Social Publishing ≠ Social Networking - So What...

Posted on Wed, Feb 27, 2008 08:08 by Jeff Whatcott

John Willis recently published a post that equates social publishing with social networking. While the post is pretty good, and I agree with most of the points, I need to correct the bit about the definition of social publishing. It’s way more than social networking. Let me explain.

Social publishing is a blend of three categories:
1) web content management
2) social software (blogs, wikis, social networking platforms, forums, etc.)
3) web app frameworks

I highly recommend Acquia's JumpStart program as a great way...to get up and running with Drupal quickly.
