WebHome - The Revolution of Social Networking
The social web is largely controlled by a few giant companies. Social networks like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace control an unbelievable amount of personal data, social profiles and social connections. In the real world, however, things like friendship ties and interpersonal communication control is deemed unacceptable.
We believe that it is time to free the social web and give control back to the people. Today, we launch WebHome.org - the site that will serve as a "headquarters" for a movement. We propose "WebHome" as a name for all "social profiles" that can be connected to a free, open social web. Thus, we can build the true Web 3.0 - open, decentralised and social.
A person's WebHome would work as their OpenID and "social profile". WebHome can be build upon any software, like WordPress, MT, Dolphin, Joomla, etc. Just imagine yourself logging-in to your "www.namesurname.com" site and browsing, commenting and following other sites like that without joining them, similar to how you browse Facebook profiles. Similar experience, full control over your data, full freedom and no privacy fears.
There's a lot more to it, so go to http://www.webhome.org and join the revolution!
Why BoonEx?
Our mission, as you know, is to Unite People. This is it. WebHome.org is the single most important step we have ever done to fulfill this statement. We have experience and understanding in both software development and social networking. We have you, our community, which would help us to kick start this movement. We have Dolphin, which is super-popular and will be accepting WebHomes as remote social profiles and WebHome OpenID as identification.
We decided to pledge $200,000 for the first stage and will support WebHome indefinitely.
For BoonEx Clients
The biggest problem for all Dolphin-based communities is that they are small or medium in size, but social networking only works when membership is high. Thus, a handful of giant corporations literally soak-in every opportunity for a niche site. This is wrong. People are free and should not be considered as an asset. Websites should compete in functionality, ease of use, content, niche, but not in users count.
Now, when everyone is at Facebook or Twitter, nobody wants to join any other site, because their friends are not there! Nobody wants to fill out numerous join forms and remember passwords. Nobody wants to upload their photos to Facebook and a dozen of niche sites.
With WebHomes, everyone would have their own social profile that they control, connected to profiles on other sites, or independent profiles. Using niche sites won't be a hassle, and would not disconnect users from their social graphs. Smart ideas, content and originality will rule again.
What we need
We need participation, attention, media coverage and advice. We need platforms, developers and corporations to realize that this is the future of the web. WebHome is a not-for-profit movement, a free and open project, which will never be controlled by anyone. We just need to make the world know about it.
We can make it happen! Join us!
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
But I will give it a try. When there is a module or plugin for Dolphin I wiil accept it to 0ne or two sites.
The future wiil let us see if this child can grow up.
*shouting* LET'S DO IT! LET'S DO IT! LET'S DO IT!
1) So Boonex starting "Webhome" won't distract attention away from fixing Dolphin 7 bugs?
2) By doing this, isn't Boonex concerned that this might paint a bullseye on itself (retaliation from the big social networking sites to try to take down Boonex/Dolphin...... because in a way, this is like launching an attack on them)?
2. The concept (and that's all this really is), is flawed in several ways.
a) Most people aren't going to purchase a domain. They just won't.
b) Using a real name is going be a problem with a lot of people. They won't do it.
c) Many, many people have the same name - meaning the domain won't be available.
d) Even if this were to start to take off, see more
I hope this changes the world for you Andrew. I like you & hope you do well with whatever you decide to pursue. However, it does nothing at all for me. see more
If you want to be webhome.org, then you'll have to look like webhome.org from day one. With webhome.org, you are in the same boat as all of us with our tiny little Dolphin sites, that are for the most part, see more

So, first sooperstars, now webhome, I think alext really is stretching himself too far now, Seems that his, and your focus is very obviously in other places than Dolphin 7.
Currently it looks little more than see more
Well, if you've just paid upwards of $1000 to get your site up and running with a licensed copy of Dolphin and the so called prime package, only to find that the thing is so bug ridden it cannot be used in a commercial environment without spending further time and money, and then go on to read how 'your' money is now going to be invested - not in fixing up the product that you have just bought, but some other crack-pot see more
How much has been budgeted for producing your actual software --- Dolphin 7 (in progress), and the evidently frozen Trident platform?
With $200.000, you could have a team of code monkeys chipping away at $20/hour for a grand total of *ten see more
I really like the logo as pertains to the domain name & the concept. It works & it looks good.
But.....
Before you spend two hundred large on this idea, pitch it to regular Internet users. Seriously. I think you'll find the reaction colder than what you see here. It's not that it is a *bad* idea, (though in the context of Dolphin it is), it's that it's not an easy concept to grasp IMHO, and there are too many hurdles for people to jump in order to see more
You haven't. You've seen countless people ask for a working script that people can believe in. You continue to take all of the positive and make it negative. see more

and spend days and nights to make your site with D7 - wait for updates - that will fix your problems
result - bonnex working on other projects - and your D7 - still bugs and function strange -
bonnex you take the dolphin community for fools
If this API works well in the future, we will also intergrate it into our system at a later date to help spread the word.
If Unity market had been similar to Expertzzz where we dint need to pay to sell things, i would have never asked you to fix it. But now you are charging us and instead of fixing and improving it, are wasting our money on such projects which are in no way helpful to us.
Seriously, would not take too long to sort it all out to a solid build.
"no full control over your data, full freedom and no privacy fears"
I might be mistaken see more
the file in the zip has no file extention.
wordpress error says header information is missing or can not be found when installing webhome plugin.
why did i have to sign up with an email address and user name on there when the concept of the project is to have one easy way to connect with everything using one (uno) openid ?
Still not sure if i understand the concept of this project.
i added the domain jayandterri.com for your testing see more
Dolphin is the best Dating script i ever seen, so why dont you make it become the "BEST"?. It's too much bug out there

BTW isn't twitter where you post about other people more commonly know as facebook? Maybe Bonnex (sic) should register faceboot (a name that works on a couple of different levels.)
@magnussoft - not overreacting - jut plain reacting. Apathy simply makes for an ideal customer.
