Social Web CMS (SWCMS) is a mature, full-featured, and open source social news application written in PHP and utilizing a MySQL backend. From the web newbie looking for a simple way to enter the playing field to advanced developers hoping to drive social news to the next level, SWCMS is your best source for full, free, and actively developed social news applications. What is Social News? Social News refers to a concept pioneered by web 2.0 companies like Digg and Reddit. In this model the front-page news is determined not by a small group of editors but rather by the viewer community. This helps ensure that the topics covered are diverse - featuring multiple viewpoints rather than a select group's editorial bias. Social News also helps ensure that the news is always the latest and freshest. Drawing on the full resources of the internet community social news can far surpass any one company's ability to review and prioritize important news items as they happen.
