Our Own April Fools Joke for 2010

For the past one year our team here at Techjoomla has been working  on a super secret project which involved some very critical work in integrating some of the best CMS systems available today in the Open Source world.. You must have read about many articles, blogs which discuss what is better : Joomla, Wordpress or Drupal. Its always a competition between these three.

This competition is there since each system has something unique that the other lacks at in someway..We decided to get all the best features of these CMS Powerhouses together to create the most powerful CMS avaialable in the world. today.
