Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results
paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...

What Are The Seven Wonders of the Web?
As the Web heads towards its twentieth birthday, what are its most undisputed gems?

By: Jeremy Geelan
Dec. 29, 2008 02:25 PM

A few years ago, a British newspaper speculated on what might be the Web equivalent of the Seven Wonders of the World, and received suggestions that were hardly surprising: Google search, the Amazon.com e-tail portal, the eBay auction mechanism, etc. But that was back in 1991, before Facebook, Google Earth, and YouTube had even seen the light of day. So what sites or applications would be on today's list?

My own nominations would probably include The Wayback Machine - hosted by The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that's building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form.

My list of Web Wonders would also, for sure, feature Wikipedia.

Now all I need to do is to figure out what other five to choose. Complete lists of seven or individual sites/apps welcome...all suggestions welcome!

The 7 wwww worldwidewebwonder my own nominations would surely include the techniques that makes all this things possible
1) LINUX & OS movement opensource.org
2) JAVA et la ajax & web 2.0 java.sun.com
3) Apache which hosts 90% of the web apache.org
4) MySql with 3) makes it also possible mysql.org
5) MIT opencourseware ocw.mit.edu
6) Open Social networks like elgg.org
7) Social Virtualworlds opencroquet.org
for my pleasure i observed the web since the earlier beginning and i am glad that commercial companies like M$ overslept the birth of the web else i had to pay my last penny to write this comment ;-)
P.S Googol is just a mathematical number!! A known company with the same name but misspelled for their 45000 PC's without LINUX they couldn't even exist !!

peace upon you !
yaphoo
