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.
