I recently read a post from Drew Kerr at PR Rock and Roll in which he said that for college students the entire world of online networking is Facebook; and I think that college students might no be the only ones with that belief, a lot of companies out there might be thinking the same way. Despite that we already know about the top 25 social networks, we might be far from knowing every single one in detail.  It sounds even impossible to achieve that as almost everyday a new social network is created, in fact, most recent versions of CMS solutions include modules for building social networks.

For a brand, it might be desired to maintain a strong online presence across the net, or as Brian Solis calls, the Conversation Prism.  On his post, Brian presents KnowEm, an online service that not only checks the availability of your username on over 120 popular social networks, but, if you’re too busy, can help you registering on all of them (a paid service that will take between 1 and 5 business days).

Anyway, if you’re just curious about the 120 popular social networks, visit KnowEm and meet them all.

At a time of tight budgets, recession and interoperability needs, open source is something you just can’t ignore.

Nowadays more and more companies are adopting open source solutions for their Content Management needs instead of investing millions in other products.

Everybody knows that open source is getting stronger, and even Microsoft has released an open source version of their web content management system.  CMSWire recently published a collection of 5 must read articles on Open Source I strongly recommend:

1. Bad Economy Is Good for Open Source
2. Survey: Most Popular Open Source CMS
3. Multi-site Management with Drupal, Plone and Joomla!
4. State of the Project Report: Joomla! Web CMS
5. Microsoft’s New Open Source Web CMS

Check them out… What do you think about Open Source CMS solutions?
