Modern social networking applications use a Social Engine at the heart. Older Social Networking websites such as MySpace.com may not have such a clean cut architecture, however the core of the system sort of behaves more or less as a Social Engine does.
A Social Engine is in charge of managing people profiles, search, privacy, messaging, notification, requests, and most important of all Social Graphing.
Social Graphing is just a fancy technical name for the relationship among the people described as “Friends” or “Contacts”, in other words it is the “Network” in Social Network. It is the reason that people join such a websites so they can be perpetually in touch with each other and stay informed about each other’s activities.
Currently there are two models of social graph implementations in the existing social networking websites:
We are about to explain these models, and please keep in mind the best social graphing model is that one that is Most Flexible and Most Generic in the same time.

As you might have read the announcement on the rmd Studio website, we are organizing the Vancouver Joomla Day on the June 12th 2008 with the help of other associates in our circle such as Wendy Robinson, Tazzu (Vancouver’s Business & Technology) Community, PeerGlobe Technology, and JenTekk Web Solutions.
We have made some changes to the event’s schedule, because we though the original plan was a little too developers focused and we didn’t want to rule out the non-developer Joomla enthusiasts, Marketers, and Social Media consultants from attending this community driven event.
In the new schedule we have considered 6 project spotlight time slots, each 15 minutes long for those who have been involed with a Joomla related project and would like to share some insights with the rest of community members. If you have developed any projects in Joomla you might be interested to do a small presentation on the Joomla Day. For more information please read this post on the Tazzu blog
There is a one hour lunch break from 12:00 to 1:00 PM where we get to socialize a bit
From 4:40 to 5:30 there will be more time for us to spend some time sharing ideas and asking questions. This is your opportunity to meet some of the Joomla Core developers and many other people who are involved in this great project in person.
We are looking forward to seeing you there. If you haven’t purchased your tickets, you can do it here:
We have also listed the Vancouver Joomla Day event on the facebook. If you would like to know who else is attending or help us spread the word, Please RSVP here:

PageBadge is just a side pet project that we built over a weekend while sitting at the Yaletown’s Blenz coffee. We needed a way to promote our facebook pages and events and couldn’t imagine that nobody ever thought of building badge makers for facebook pages, events, or groups. So here it is Ladies and Gentlemen you can try the application here
I must say that this project is mostly the work of genius from my business partner and team mate Arash Sanieyan from PeerGlobe Technology and it is developed using Ruby on Rails. We think the most useful web apps are the ones we develop to solve one of our own problems.
I guess after building this pet project, we both had enough of Facebook App development. For some reason developing applications for the facebook isn’t as exciting as 6 month ago, perhaps because many of our marketer friends successfully managed to suck the fun out of this popular social network website.
