Thank you, Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs has touched each of lives in one way or another. Be it your kids (Pixar anyone?). Be it your gadgets (Iphone, Ipad, Ipod). Steve Jobs has revolutionized the way we use computers. And yes even in JomSocial.
He’s a visionary that has a notion that manifest his ideas into the psychical world. Never backs down and always moving a step forward. He inspired millions.. or maybe billions.
“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.”
[The Wall Street Journal, May 25, 1993]
"Thank you Steve. You've taught all of us wonders. You will be greatly missed."
2.4 Beta is Out on Friday!

Reimagining content distribution in social fabric
The past few weeks have been a very productive period for us. With the release of the first JomSocial 2.4 Alpha last August, we are now gearing up to present you with Alpha 4 next Friday, 23rd September 2011. Before getting your hands dirty with the Alpha version, let us enlighten you with the experiments that we have gone through and the outcome which were later made as the principal guideline in the development of the next major iterations of JomSocial, your favourite social networking platform.
Although seemingly young in age, the analytical and statistical information that we have amassed through our demo site, internal development lab, and our experience in building up the Joomla People Portal is so ginormous that it would easily dwarf the biggest of all dwarves. The accumulated information was then put under a thoughtful scrutiny before the eyes of the JomSocial team.
