I have several guest passes available for "Toxic Bust" at the Breast Fest Film Festival Nov. 21 @4 p.m. 'cause I'm doing some work for Rethink. The film will be followed by a panel discussing how to detoxify your home/life/etc. Rick Smith, Executive Director of Environmental Defense is moderating. Ping me [espodek at gmail dot com] if you're interested or leave a note on this page. For more information, check out http://www.breastfestfilmfest.com/films.shtml

White Label Social Networks

conniecrosby — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 02:00:07 CST

Thinking of building
your own community site?

Consider a
white label network.

Benefits:

cost effectiveness
better cost predictability
faster time to build and implement
features that have already been developed
experience of experts who have developed the site
trying features at lower cost and time commitment

Examples:

Ning
- can be hosted or white label ("Premium Services")

Sixent
- from Ramius, based in Ottawa
