Website Launch: Insoshi Social Networking Platform

The Insoshi Open-Source Social Networking Platform project was just launched yesterday! Logical Reality designed both the Insoshi logo, and landing/informational site that leads new users to the project itself.

Insoshi is built with Ruby on Rails, and is the first major social networking tool to be released completely open-source. Here's an article on Insoshi and the launch at TechCrunch.

The site was a rapid-development Web-2.0 style project, developed using the blueprint CSS framework and other standards-compliant techniques. The logo was chosen to represent Insoshi's core functionality in social networking: communication between people. The lowercase i's on the ends invoke iconified people, with the "broadcast" arcs indicating communication from one to the other.
