DrupalCamp Fever continues
Transcript From Episode CMSW2009-08-10

This past weekend, August 8 and 9, Drupal enthusiasts gathered in CA for DrupalCamp LA. You’ll recognize some of the same folks we talked to at DrupalCamp Colorado in June – Platinum sponsors pingVision and acquia, and Gold sponsor Volacci. Other than these familiar names, the session offerings look completely unique.

Another event shooting for 200+ attendees with lots of out of state registrants is DrupalCamp Atlanta. This is the inaugural event for DrupalCamp Atlanta, is sponsored by the Atlanta Drupal User Group and is a one-day event on September 19th. Registration is free and lunch is included, thanks to generous sponsorship by MediaCurrent interactive solutions, Matrix, acquia, MailChimp, autotrader.com, Volacci, a small orange, Microsoft and CMS Website Services. Get involved or register at drupalcampatlanta.com.

And don’t forget DrupalCon Paris on Sept 1-5. You can find CMSWeekly coverage of DrupalCamp Colorado in June under the events tab of SDRNews.com.

Ben’s SEO Blog: Drupal Learns To “Socialize”
Transcript From Episode CMSW2009-08-17

Sun, Aug 30, 2009 12:45 PM
Our friend Ben Finklea at volacci.com blogged this week about a new Drupal module called “Socialize”, developed by Gigya and Acquia. Socialize enhances the social features of a Drupal site, enabling site owners to authenticate users to Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, as well as mail programs such as Gmail and Yahoo Mail. It allows your Drupal website to push content and user activity out beyond the site and into the social networks, driving interactivity and viral promotion.

As announced in a July 23 press release, other features of Socialize include enabling users to invite friends to the site, or to share site content or a specific event and send status updates, tweets and newsfeed events to their social networks. The Gigya Socialize module has been fully integrated with Drupal’s user action and trigger core modules so Drupal site owners can configure the viral promotion channels to work dynamically.

The module is fully configurable and installs in minutes with no programming. The module is available, free of charge, on Drupal.org. View a webinar of the tool under acquia.com.
