BuddyPress Privacy Offers You the Power of the Force

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Okay, that title may not be accurate. But for those advanced BuddyPress administrators and site owners who are performance focused, the BuddyPress Privacy Component will offer the option of creating the ACL (access control list) tables with the InnoDB storage engine instead of the MyISAM storage engine which WordPress and BuddyPress use as the default. This offers a number of advantages such as referential integrity with cascading deletes and updates and row-level locking instead of table-wide locking—which increases performance by facilitating multi-user concurrency, a crucial point for under-powered servers or highly-trafficked sites.

BuddyPress Privacy Component About to Launch

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

Here’s a brief update on my efforts to provide a suite of privacy filtering services to BuddyPress’ core components. With the release of BP v1.2.6, the last of the essential ingredients are now in place to allow my Privacy Component to function. On November 8, 2010, I plan to make the component available to all via the WordPress Plugin Repository. You can learn more on BP-Privacy.com.

To celebrate this occasion, I am offering two specials: 40% off of the standard BuddyPress Privacy Component Support Plan (BPCSP) and the other 25% discount on advertising rates. All but two of the first month’s ad spots are sold. So, if you want to get in early and lock in these prerelease rates, act now.

Web 3.0 Smartups: the Social Web and the Web of Data

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

<Smartups Series Part 2 of 5>

In the first installment of my Web 3.0 series, Powering Startups to Become Smartups, I presented a general overview of the Web’s evolving paradigm. I made the argument that today’s Web-based startups needed to step outside the current Web-2.0 box and think like a Web-3.0 company. By leveraging the power of Web 3.0, a common-place startup could transform itself into a smartup.

In this second installment, I’m going to talk about what most people think of when they hear the term Web 3.0—the Semantic Web or Web of data. In the process, I hope to correct some common misconceptions about what the Semantic Web is and what it is not. Read more »
