SugarScape is a time-based social bookmarking and networking browsing tool. Quite a mouthful, eh? This site is targeted at teenage girls and its primary function is to enable the bookmarking and sharing of hot sites and content. The scape player shows what’s hot and is sensitive to elements like time so that the objects floating around on the screen behave differently based on what they are, how popular they are, and their other facets and relationships. Users can skin the site to their tastes. SugarScape is also a complete social networking site that can aggregate your profiles from the various other sites (Facebook, MySpace, etc.)
I flew to London to help train the SugarScape team in the ways of Drupal. While there we explored some initial data architectures for the site. Over the following months I then provided consulting and support to the development team as they created this most beautiful Drupal masterpiece.
