Ash and I would like to thank the Nooku and Beyounic teams for presenting the Anahita project at the Joomla Day Italia Rome and Nooku presentation. I must say nothing is more encouraging and energizing to us after long sleepless days of coding when a pack of truly awesome friends and brilliant minds spread the word for us with lots of enthusiasm half way across the planet. Ash and I feel truly blessed, appreciated and fortunate to meet and work with the Nooku (twitter: @nooku) and Beyounic (twitter: @beyounic) teams. Thank you for being so awesome 
We weren’t quite thrilled about our first implementation since it was behaving more like the facebook photo sharing app. I mean creating an album and uploading a list of party pictures is not exactly that exciting. Being an avid photographer and flickr addict I know that sometimes a lot of work goes into creating a great image and we want to make sure that every photograph gets all the attention that it deserve. We thought that Anahita Social ™ Photos should behave more like a blogging and expression platform for the photographers and not just an online shoe box of images.
I must say that our implementation has been partly inspired by projects such as WordPress and Flickr.com with an Anahita philosophy in mind. In order to implement the photos and albums we have actually extended the Anahita Social Engine ™ Media Nodes API and therefore all albums and individual pictures can be tagged and commented on.
