Living in a Social Network is to raise your profile information, photos, videos and other personal digital content to a site like MySpace, Facebook and Hi5 (to name the most popular), is like living in without paying hotel accommodation. You have nice applications, unlimited space, access to all facilities, all to facilitate boarding and driving, but little or no customization of the environment.
Having a host own land is like buying your own home to your taste, and that's how I feel right now: D with a 20X30 field where I can do whatever he wants and with a very powerful architectural tool that allows me to imagine without the narrow terraced house walls.
Like any good apprentice mason line from the ground sections of the house, I put up the walls categories. I make the installation of the menus to control content, configure modules and plugins that will work to the flow of information. The finish, load a template and make final adjustments.
And little by little, filling the house with different content, analyze what you need, add new things, make arrangements and adjustments according to needs as they arise. Give an interesting view direction, fixing access roads and signage for visitors to flow and over time will have to maintain it.
Having this digital home is a new adventure that I want to live and enjoy far as I'm not going to go and I like that because I'm bored of Facebook applications, I look away from the routine of the Quiz, the culture of the Five, and profiles that never downloaded or uploaded by halves. Here I have the keys and I decide what is done, is not it better to have control?
In a previous article talking about a digital Vida Sana, cancel my account on FB, Myspace and Hi5 is to close the main roads, tear down the bridges leading to the house, cut the phone, refuse to take transportation to visit a public square, or move your house to a desert island, that is, a mistake. Another analogy of social networks is that of a public square, where you go for a while you meet people, chat a bit, exchanged some ideas, you see people pass by and if you have a home invite some friends to meet. But that the house must be clean, ie that is lightweight, well organized, simple and attractive design, intuitive navigation.
Joomla potential and have a host factor itself makes it a house with a capacity to grow, adding other "land use", to more rooms, changing the facade, wiring, windows and doors to automatic change floor .... anyway ...
