To expand on this: Shindig is used in production and reaches over 800 million people, and is used by the likes of Yahoo, MySpace, Google and over 30 other social sites of all kinds; It's also being deployed in enterprise environments more and more by companies like Lockheed Martin, Atlassian, and IBM is working on it too.
So as far as stability goes, I think we have the track record to prove this is a critical part of the social web's infrastructure and well maintained. If you want to have a company that can assist you, provide support and help development, several large companies have had great experience with Globant (see Bruno's email below), so they'd be a great choice. -- Chris On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 5:44 PM, Ropu <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Pavithran > My Name is Bruno Rovagnati and Im leading the Social Network Practice in > Globant. > > Globant is the leading IT Service provider from LatinAmerica, and we have a > big Practice around OpenSocial and Shindig. > > We've contributed to shindig code base and we did several integrations with > different containes, here you have more info about it > http://www.globant.com/Content/Services/OpenSocial/ > > Feel free to contact me, [email protected], for further details. > > And know that shindig is very stable, supporting several Hundred Million > users in more than 20 different containers. > > cheers > > ropu > > On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 10:25 AM, pavithran <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi list , > > I am pavithran from paris . > > I am assigned the task of improving a very poorly built social n/w > > site ( LOL its on plone) > > > > I was given freedom to use whatever technologies I wish to : > > > > Hence I kept searching and as you know open social is the best answer ! > > > > Hence I need to create a open social container .. and wow shindig > > offers just that but I am well aware of the fact that I need to do > > what "partuza" did using shindig . > > > > But to convince my enterprise, I need to show that shindig is "stable" > > and is "well" supported.
