WOBURN, MA--(Marketwire - Jul 11, 2011) - Acquia, the leading provider of commercial solutions for Drupal, announced today that Twitter selected a Drupal-based community solution for its new Twitter developer website at dev.twitter.com. The site, which was developed with support and guidance from Acquia, launched today.
Yesterday, Mozilla announced a new initiative called BrowserID, which is an easy, secure way to log in to websites without having to remember your password for each individual website. So last night I wrote the BrowserID Drupal module, which lets people log in to Drupal websites using BrowserID.
It's always feast or famine. During Drupal's first few years, core contributors all knew when a new Drupal site launched, and usually also knew the people who created it.
Acquia, a provider of commercial solutions for Drupal, announced that Twitter (News - Alert) selected a Drupal-based community solution for its new Twitter developer Web site at dev.twitter.com.
Twitter announced the launch of the developer Web site which was developed with support and guidance from Acquia.
Leveraging Acquia solutions, Twitter offers information, tools and assistance for 750,000 developers across the Twitter ecosystem. It includes access to documents, APIs, tips, tutorials, blogs, and forums designed to connect developers to the Twitter team and each other.
Twitter has created a Web site for the more than 750,000 developers who design and build platforms that complement the company's social site. (Did you catch that number?) Dev.Twitter.com debuted Monday, developed with support from the company Acquia.
Twitter unveiled July 11 a new online community website for third-party developers to access APIs in an open, collaborative environment. It's not entirely surprising that the site is built upon open source web content management system Drupal--and developed by Acquia, the company's commercial arm. Twitter's decision appears to be something of a trend for open source developer sites.
Twitter used Acquia, commercial solutions provider for open software Drupal, in order to help create a website for Twitter developers.
Tom Erickson, Acquia's CEO said: “We are proud to be working with Twitter on this important effort.
“It demonstrates Acquia's ability to deliver enterprise-scale applications, and reinforces that Drupal is truly a best-of-breed platform for community websites.”
