Here's a graphic I made for the Do It With Drupal conference, where I built YouDrup, a YouTube clone with Drupal.
Enjoy!
A YouTube clone? In Drupal? Of course!
I was asked by the organizers of the Do It With Drupal seminar if I would like the opportunity to create a YouTube clone in Drupal and talk about that process with the community. Of course!
Do It With Drupal will take place in New Orleans, from December 10-12, 2008. Besides my YouTube clone, other showcase fantasy sites will also be presented, including Flickr, Twitter, and FreshBooks.com clones. All built with Drupal! And that's just the first day. There are some really big name folks presenting at the seminar, like Earl Miles, Robert Douglass, Gábor Hojtsy, John Resig (who wrote jQuery), Matt Westgate, Moshe Weitzman, Angela Byron, James Walker, and more! Seriously, check out the speaker list if you haven't yet.
Now that I've agreed to that, it means up all this personal time I just freed up from finishing up Drupal Multimedia (which goes to the printers on Monday!) will now go to building this fun site...

Drupal is more professional than Joomla as far as development is concerned.
Joomla is great for somebody who wants all the bells and whistles and is willing to spend the next 6 months forcing them to work.
Wordpress is good for people who want to do business and are not interested in development.
I personally feel that Wordpress will continue to do what it has set out to do. I feel Joomla may fall down the same security path as phpNuke did by offering under experienced programmers access to things which they aren't going to be able to secure or support properly. Drupal will take alot of good programmers and make them better programmers I think. Although I am not a big fan of the object oriented paradigm. However I do think for the real programming professionals there are better options. But the market seems to be shaping thier destiny with drupal.
All things aside. Make sure what ever add-ons you have come with a professional commerical backing. History has proven time and time again that the non-commercially supported projects die out.
Why cant the "drupal community" put up so contrib theme that just don't flat-out suck? Even this site is using a drab mind-numbingly boring out of the box theme. When it comes to themes or templates, Joomla is light-years ahead of Drupal - which has me scratching my head, Where are all the Drupal theme designers??
