chrigui - Personal blog http://www.chrigui.com A blog by Tarik Chrigui to share personal thoughs with friends and fans posterous.com Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:59:19 -0800 Busy days with social sharing and geo news websites http://www.chrigui.com/busy-days-with-social-sharing-and-geo-news-we http://www.chrigui.com/busy-days-with-social-sharing-and-geo-news-we Lately I was working very hard to launch 2 new websites with my small team. I think we are about to finish the 1 at one this week. It's called Wozee.

Wozee is a small social network for bonsai lovers, who wants to share progress with photos, and showoff some great trees.

The we have ULuly a bigger and more time consuming site for people to share news near them from a simple bang sound to crime, fights and almost anything relates to a better society. The main fowl is to bring communities back together.

If you have some ideas let me know... Otherwise Wish me luck!!

Today I spend it all in analysing the big guys: Facebook, twitter, youtube, flickr... now the internet is changing and we all know that. The Corporate (big fish) are waiting for a big website to become bigger so, they can make an offer.

How about Small niche social networks?...do they stand a chance ?

Bet your A$$ they do! See: the idea of growing for some reason comes with sacrifice. For social networks the sacrifice is obvious, it is Users vs. Sponsors...

let us take the same story to a small 50k users network, it’s dedicated, the founders could be right behind you in the traffic light or Crispycream. If this social network gets a sponsor offer to sell out its database, it’s going to be difficult because they only have 50k to begin with. (Without mentioning how hard they worked for it.) So, when you ask them to give away the db, you are actually asking them to shutdown!

think of it this way, I would rather have a million social networks, each one is dedicated to a small niche like DIY or gardening... than trying to find my way around by the so-called big social network(s), Yes I know I have an account there... (When 10 people call you a monkey you ignore... but when 1000 people call you a monkey... you’d better start acting like one )

Now I know am all over the place, this post is not to find a solution but to share how important small social networks are. They are dedicated, solid with morals and love.

Bootstrap, from Twitter

Bootstrap is a toolkit from Twitter designed to kickstart development of webapps and sites.
It includes base CSS and HTML for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grids, navigation, and more.

Nerd alert: Bootstrap is built with Less and was designed to work out of the gate with modern browsers in mind.

i think i will give it a try in my next UI design.

 

How to use it

Use this option to make full use of Bootstrap’s Less variables, mixins, and nesting in CSS via javascript in your browser. 

             <link rel="stylesheet/less" href="less/bootstrap.less" media="all" />

             <script src="js/less-1.1.4.min.js"></script>
