Social Web Content Management System (SWCMS), a fork of the popular Pligg social news project, continues to show its significant forward momentum. First sign of life comes from the release of SWCMS Beta 2. Beta 2 is a significant step forward over the code SWCMS forked from.

Informed Networker which was formed by Dave Mackey have recently announced on their blog that they intend to switch from the Pligg CMS system to Social Web CMS, IN is the latest established Pligg site to announce a switch to the Social Web CMS Project. This particular swith is another blow for the pligg project as Dave and IN have been one of the most active contributors to the pligg project for many months now, we would go as far to say even more active than the actual owners of the project have been during this time. A very well laid out post on the Informed Networker Blog explains more about IN's decision to change system, and also some insight into the new Social Web CMS project.
