I received an invitation to create first Egyptian Twitter like community on Yonkly.com. Thanks to Emad Ibrahim Creator and Founder of Yonkly.
Before I go further; you might ask What is Yonkly? My answer is: it is an enhanced twitter like mini blogging service. It is an open source project based on ASP.NET MVC. It is one of the first projects developed with early preview releases of ASP.NET MVC. This project was developed by Emad Ibrahim.
More information about Yonkly can be found at http://www.emadibrahim.com/category/yonkly/. You can download bits of this project from CodePlex.
2 different flavours of Yonkly are available through Yonkly.com, and Yonkly.net. The public Twitter clone is available at Yonkly.net, this is exactly like twitter with additional features like Groups. The other flavour which I am going to call community like edition is available under Yonkly.com. At Yonkly.com you can create your own community like Egyptian Yonklies I just created for Egyptian Tweeters. Both are in Beta as ASP.NET MVC itself is beta. Currently it require an invitation to be able to create your own network under Yonkly.com.
I think what is available on Yonkly.net should be available for each network under Yonkly.com. But this is something Emad should decide.
Today I was exploring Yonkly features while I was setting up egyonklies.yonkly.com. I was amazed by the provided features which I am sure is going to be enhanced and improved upon the release of ASP.NET MVC and in the upcoming releases of Yonkly.

Amr Elsehemey started to blog about ASP.NET MVC. He picked up a good subject to blog about; Building ASP.NET MVC Blog Engine using ASP.NET MVC and jQuery, he named it "jBlogMvc" Yesterday he posted his first post in the series, and myself I am waiting for the rest of the series as for it is going to be very interesting, because I have couple of ideas in mind.
He is going to explore the code and posting samples as he developing this simple blog engine. We have been talking about this subject for few days now, and really he has some cool ideas to present. Keep tuned with Amr, I am sure he is going to amuse us with some kicking posts just as he did in his Design Time Support post series.
