Google didn't kill Facebook just yet

31. October 2011 - Joonas Kiminki

Google just announced Google+ for Google Apps users. This means that all of us "corporate" Google users can use the hyped service now.

I have been so lazy in testing Google+ that I actually tested the service for the first time today. All seems fine with it - I don't know what G+ has on Facebook and/or Twitter, but it does its job quite nicely. It might just be a couple years late.

After three years of work and participation from thousands of open source developers, Drupal 7 is finally here! Mearra is already working on implementing large sites on Drupal 7 and we have switched to the new version in our Drupal trainings about three months ago.

Drupal 7 is definitely here. So – join in, download Drupal 7 and see for yourself why D7 is definitely the largest leap in the history of Drupal!

Doing blog business better than Wordpress

17. September 2010 - Joonas Kiminki

A partner of ours, Uusi Suomi, has been running a Wordpress MU (now called Wordpress MS) -based blogging community since 2008. The basic stuff – blogging – has worked relatively well there all the time. The use of the word “relative” instead of “great” is based on the fact that the platform was never the most up-to-date version of WPMU and much of the cool stuff that is available now was not there for Uusi Suomi.

Module showcase: Radioactivity

8. March 2010 - Joonas Kiminki

Radioactivity is a Drupal module for providing hotness metrics for content. The module is originally developed for and sponsored by Uusi Suomi to replace the Drupal built-in node counter. The node counter records node loads for a certain node (a news item, a blog post etc.) and resets the daily counter at midnight. This has obvious limitations if you want more information than just the node counts per day.
