SocialCorral has been releases/launched/iterated. Please log in and let us know what you think!

Update: The SocialCorral widget width is now customizable, so you can fit it into your sidebar info on your site. See my SocialCorral widget to the right.

SocialCorral is made with the following technologies:

  1. Web framework: Rails
  2. Language: JRuby
  3. Storage: OpenDS LDAP Server
  4. Java App Server (ok, container): Tomcat
  5. Web Server: Apache
  6. OS: CentOS

You may notice, no database. I decided to use LDAP over a SQL database for 4 reasons:

  1. I know LDAP pretty well :-)
  2. LDAP is multi-master, and can replicate over SSL across very rocky terrain
  3. Given the item above, I feel that LDAP is underutilized in the Web 2.0™ world
  4. I was tired of using a database
