Congrats: 500pearlstreet.com launched!

Our friend Walt launched 500Pearlstreet.com earlier this week. It’s a blog that will be focused on covering white collar crime in the news as well as exploring other topics related to white collar crime. We’re excited to see where Walt takes the blog and wish him the best of luck!

Technically, 500Pearlstreet.com is running Drupal 7 with a couple of of pretty neat modules:

  • The theme is a standard sub-theme of the excellent Omega responsive theme. The amount of configuration possible through the Omega UI is really impressive and a welcome change from how difficult theming was in Drupal 6.
  • In-context links and images are being automatically powered by Zemanta which is pretty neat.
  • OpenCalais is also running in the background providing semantic tagging capabilities. These aren’t exposed yet but hopefully will become useful when there is more content.

Anyway, it should be a good read so drop it into your readers!
