Another great endorsement for Drupal
I've just posted this to Drupal.org - it's another great endorsement for my favourite open source project.
The M.I.T. Technology Review has published their annual list of 35 young innovators under the age of 35. The name that jumped out of the page at me was of course Drupal's very own founder, Dries Buytaert:
The Internet has made publishing on a global scale almost effortless. That's the rhetoric, anyway. The truth is more complicated, because the Internet provides only a means of distribution; a would-be publisher still needs a publishing tool. A decade ago, people who wanted such a tool had three choices, all bad: a cheap but inflexible system, a versatile but expensive one, or one written from scratch. What was needed was something in the middle, requiring neither enormous expense nor months of development--not a single application, but a platform for creating custom publishing environments. For tens of thousands of sites and millions of users, that something is Drupal....
Head over to the M.I.T. Technology Review site for a full profile on Dries and Drupal written up by Clay Shirky (author of Here Comes Everybody).
Rock on Drupal!
I thought about using one of the blog hosting service such as blogg.com, and livejournal.com. But they don't have the essential features I want: tagging, and file upload and hosting. I really would like to have all the flexibilities. So I need to run my own blogging system instead of relying on some companies to give me a solution.
I chose Drupal because I developed a Drupal module before, so I have seen what it can offer. It has a nice system out of box, plus a lot of useful modules and themes for customization and extension.
