Sugar Inc. releases the OnSugar Blogging platform to let Sugar community members start their own sites. Based on the Drupal platform, OnSugar provides some very nice modifications to clean up and simplify the posting and content management interfaces provided by the popular open source CMS.
What I like most about what they've done with Drupal is the clean tabbed UI for content creation, the media embedding options for inserting images from Getty, ShopStyle, and Fashion week photos, and the excellent spread editor. Sugar have really thought about what users in their demo want from a CMS, since they're designing for themselves in a sense. One can only hope that what they've achieved here will be rolled back or inspire the content entry interfaces in future Drupal versions.
So this is basically drupal right?
Or are there any signifigant differences?
They're letting you create a hosted site with a subdomain, so there's the interface for that. Then they're creating a simple experience for posting all types of content/media for that site. This is not a Drupal out-of-the-Box experience.
Looks pretty interesting. So this is like Blogger or WP? Do you know if it has the same kind of authority that Wordpress free blogs have? but do they allow ads like blogger? Grace.
@Grace: Yes, it's a hosted site like Blogger or WP, but it's run on Sugar's version of hosted Drupal.
This looks interesting , I'll look into this further
Thanks ^^

Great post. Describes everything perfectly. Very useful information for my new blog about Las Vegas. Thanks for sharing.
This seems very similar to the WP dashboard. The only thing that really stands out as a differentiator are the tabs with icons.
