BuddyPress is a Wordpress plug-in/theme designed for building online communities and social networks on your own web site. While the iPhone is a very nice device, I've embraced the open source philosophy of developing for the Android mobile platform. Flowplayer is an open source app for displaying Flash based H.264 video on your web site. When HTML, CSS and Javascript aren't enough, the majority of the web development work I do is in PHP. MySQL is the world's most popular open source database for a reason. Twitter may still be a little rough around the edges, but microblogging is for real and the Twitter API rocks. It's grown from a blogging app into a powerful, lightweight and versatile CMS.  Wordpress is awesome. OpenX is my favorite open source solution for managing and maximizing your online and mobile advertising inventory. When WordPress isn't the right tool for the job, I turn to the equally amazing open source CMS framework known as Drupal. content developer helps you build share and monetize content driven community focused web sites using open source tools like wordpress, buddypress, openx and flowplayer, and social networking platforms like twitter and facebook.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Wes
Hey thanks so much for the AWESOME post! I found it to be very informative. I am looking to create a SMS gateway app, and this solution seems like it will be what I need for the time being. One question I had though is about using short codes. The approach you have outlined is basically the way that you can do SMS messaging without the use of a short code, right? If I were to want to setup this service where they can opt in via short code, is that a lot more involved? I guess I could just have them put an email address in the to: part of an SMS message...is there a simple way to implement this type of simple service with a short code? Thanks!! - Comment left on 07/28/2010.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Morgan
The company I work for is a non-profit organization that drives intoxicated people home with their vehicles. The service is so far a success but we are having some dispatching issues. I'm looking for a program that can send an SMS message to the drivers once the ticket is submitted and log everything into an SQL database that also keeps track of the customer's variable information. Again, this is a non-profit organization so funds are severely limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Morgan - Comment left on 07/02/2010.

Comment on How To Make a 3D Web Video Wall with XML, FLV and CoolIris by dc
To add a custom button to a CoolIris Wall tool bar I added the following line to the swfobject var=flashvars section - customButton: "http://address to your image file,http://url to where you want the button to click to", One note: looks like the custom buttons now display just above the right corner of the toolbar, and no longer on top of it. Good luck. DC - Comment left on 05/27/2010.
