Red Hat Launches Open Source SN site

Posted by Brian Balfour in UncategorizedMay 31st, 2006 | one response

Popular open source software company Red Hat launched an open source Social Networking site named Mugshot. From their website:

“Mugshot is an open project to create a live social experience around entertainment. Mugshot makes it easy to share web pages and show off your music tastes…Mugshot is designed and developed in the context of an open source community project.”

There are still in a private beta, but from what I can tell it seems that they have some quality stuff in the works. I think the open source platform could produce some very powerful and unique features especially with a reputable company such as Red Hat backing it. I’m currently trying to get a peek inside so I can get a better opinion.
