"Netmodular got the job done right, everyone else was always `just one more month in beta', and then it turns out they were just hacking some code they found on the internet anyway."

Our first Social Network, "MyCommunity" ships and is followed up by our first public site, "NetPlaya" A community, for Burning Man enthusiasts, which was used worldwide for more than three years before acquisition.
