Multi client Moblog

Hello:

i have a 50 persons work group and i want to creat a moblog for everyone..... but is it really necesary the db duplication for each site? there's no other choice (i mean, multi client data model) that implements this?

do you know anyone? i only found moblogs for single site destination.

Thank you very much for help.

Ariel.

Greetings Ariel,

I don't have personal experience with it, but it looks like Lifetype supports multi-user moblogs. From their homesite:

Multiple Blogs in one Installation

With it's multi blog, multi user setup and strict separation of single weblog administration and overall administration LifeType is idealy suited for blog hosting. It's all provided through a single installation and one single database.

Hope that helps...

It's a little offtopic .. but when I was thinking through one of my new projects (which I'll be adding to ohloh at some point soon), I considered if I wanted to run multiple sites off a single database and decided against it.

It is certainly a lot easier and quicker to setup, but if a bug caused a security hole or had an unfortunate effect on the database, the whole installation would be impacted.
On the other hand, seperating the databases offers full separation of data.

To my way of thinking, at least, having everything in one database offers more drawbacks than the ease of installation provides... if the sites are intended to be separate, then they should probably be separate.

@Daniel: architect to allow the users to choose the deploy method. Installing 50 copies of an app talking to 50 different databases causes other problems as well, obviously. Also, many hosting providers only allow one database.
