Fun with Habari

The more I play with Habari the more I realise the possibilities for blogging and content management. Habari doesn't do everything but for a good designer / coder combo I really think it can open doors. So I decided to take a look for some Habari powered sites that really stand out.

I ran a search for "Powered by Habari" figuring that at this stage in development anyone using it would be showing off that fact. I won't hide my disappointment at the search; I found quite a few interesting blogs, many of which are listed on a page of Habari powered sites on the Habari Project Wiki, but I struggled to find those killer sites that really take Habari to a new level; the kind of sites that say, "sure you can do that with x,y or z platform, but take a look at this!".

Nonetheless I did find a couple of blogs that I thought really stood out, and this is the first.

44 Forks

44 Forks is written by Nick Cernis. It exists:

to explore society’s silent rules and regulations: updating the etiquette of old whilst unboxing strange new laws from the Digital Age; forever questioning the need for bizarre guidelines; recommending, where appropriate, that you ignore the really silly ones.

On the other hand if you want to know how to survive when being judged by a prospective girlfriend's parents then you need to read dating advice for find young unsuspecting men.

It's a new blog but the writing is excellent, and very funny. I am definitely subscribed.
