Link in the article is to "https" instead of "http", that may be the conflict!

I couldn't get the admin. module to display. Had problems finding the module in the backend, and module didn't show up in the admin area for modules. Tried adding the Akeeba admin. module with Joomla! "add" feature, but it gave…

I was just thinking about whether Akeeba was going to be ready for 1.6, and "low and behold" it's ready. One of the best "must have" extensions for any Joomla! website, and now the 1.6Beta testers can have something "to…

@Leo - it does look like we have some "more to learn" about the process. Where/What in the process of a new patch are these "things" happening. Is it a question of not enough people "bug test" the new patch before…

@Leo - I only found Joomla! 2 years ago back to 1.5.3 I didn't really "jump into" Joomla! until 1.5.6 I was not aware of the difficulties with the upgrading/updating the 1.0 series, so NO harmfully intent with my statement towards…

How did this slip into the trunk, and how did it 2 update releases with major problems get by the bug squad? How was this not caught before release? Why was this not caught? I updated only 1 website before the alarm was sounded on 1.5.16. I then…

@Peter - like in "live" poker, a person can always ask for a "table change" if they don't like the poker table where they are currently playing. Hopefully this recent change in the OSM board will be like a "table…

Greg Ferenstein - The Science of Building Trust With Social Media

http://mashable.com/2010/02/24/social-media-trust/







The Internet-era has made establishing trust an increasingly complicated issue. Our finely tuned ability to read facial expressions does not apply to e-mail, and emoticons are, at best, an imperfect substitute for sarcastic inflection (raise your hand if you’ve ever gotten into trouble for typing something that was meant to…
