social media

Overview
Many publishers and media companies have shifted their Websites to Drupal. This DrupalCampNYC8 session explores why this is the case by examining current and future trends. We will present several case studies and host an open discussion about workflow tools, popular contributed modules, mobile publishing, and techniques for monetizing content, all of which are helping publishers rethink their businesses. From workflow management, multiplatform publishing, and subscription payments, to video integration, social media integration, and user generated content, this session will focus on how publishers and media companies are using Drupal to invite wider audience participation and ultimately improving their bottom line.

Medienintegration ist eines der wichtigsten Themen der weiteren Webentwicklung. Egal ob Portale, Communities, oder Unternehmensseiten: Audio, Bilder und Videos spielen eine immer grössere Rolle. Gefragt sind Social Publishing und Social Media Lösungen.

Einmal mehr zeigt Drupal seine Stärken und eignet sich besser als jedes andere CMS für eine umfassende Medienintegration.

Aus diesem Grund veranstaltet die Drupal Group Schweiz das 1. Drupal Media Camp. Die zweitägige Veranstaltung richtet sich sowohl an die Drupalcommunity, als auch an interessierte Businessanwender.

BabelUp is a social network for social activism. That is, it's a fun community to hang out in with friends and discuss global issues. BabelUp hosts forums, user blogs, image galleries, real-time chatting, groups, calendars, and lots of other features you'd expect to find in a well-designed (hopefully) social network.

I run a content-based website ( http://www.gradspot.com ) and have included facebook share icons/links at the bottom of each article. However, after clicking on the share icon/link, while I am forwarded to Facebook, it doesn't usually pick up anything from the article (i.e., there's no title, description or thumbnail). Sometimes it doesn't even pick up the link. All that being said, we've even included the meta tags Facebook suggests.

Anyone had this problem before and been able to fix it?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Above is a picture of Victoria (who Dale and mentioned in our Vancouver LOD October 2006 notes) so you can spot her at conferences. I bet she'll be explaining and talking about Now Public at lots of conferences about social media and citizen journalism, so keep an eye out for her!
