Anahita Project: An Open source Social Network Platform/Framework/Something

The impact of social networking or online socialisng is fascinating. When asked, “what does a social network mean to you?” a weighted answer is often enhancing exisiting relationships, in contrast to what could be the original intention, creating new ones. A more purist response might be simply a platform for self expression.

Whatever the meaning, another new and fascinating space captured some attention today; an open source project named Anahita claiming itself to be a Social Framework, Engine, Platform and Remarkable amongst other things. At first glance the project site does not appear to have a solid focus on explaining exactly what it does.

Perhaps open to some interpretation it should be noted that certain users have requested a refund after beleiving it is a component for Joomla, a popular Content Management System.

Ditch the Meaning of Conflict

Drop the meaning of conflict even the idea that you can’t change it. Then ditch the reasons and meaning to everything else you think is important. The possibility of doing, having or becoming anything comes from nothing.

So quit your job right now, it doesn’t mean anything.

Remove emphasis on what you do and say because no one cares, come the end of day everyone is thinking ironically about their own actions, not yours.

Forget about what other people might think, you can only guess what someone else is thinking and 99.9% of the time you are 100% wrong.

Backlink Building using Public Forums

Accumulating relevant backlinks could be considered one of the most important aspects of Search Engine Marketing. The following technique might be considered Black Hat SEO but could be useful in building seemingly organic back links to a site.

1. Create an informational article on a subject. For example, a page that lists details about various PHP Frameworks.
2. Register on forums related to the subject.
3. Post a thread asking a really noob question like “What is the best PHP Framework to use?” that includes a seemingly researched link to your article.
4. Move to the next forum. Rinse. Repeat.
