Drupal/RuPaul

The first time someone mentioned Drupal I thought it was another flamboyant character from the 90’s.  But it is not….

Drupal is a very very robust backend framework that allows for a great deal of flexibility.  It provides the users many options including, 3rd party modules and themes, to make a very comprehensive social site.  Here at TechnoStones Interactive we are diving in head first to see what it’s limitations are.  Were are not finding too many limitations thus far.  I am excited to see that we have come a long way from custom built solutions that cost $250k+ and are able to use open source coding for the small company’s.

Finally a great use of SMS

Most of cell phone users are able to receive SMS (Short Message Service) or Text messages. It is about time that someone put a good use to SMS technology other than advertisers.

Wireless AMBER Alerts is using SMS technology to broadcast alerts to anyone that signs up! It is a painless process to sign up. Enter your mobile phone number fill out a short form and select the zip codes that you would like to recieve alerts. You will only recieve alerts when an AMBER Alert is sent out within your specified zip codes. You can cancel your subscription at any time.
