Every now and then vaunted investment advice site Motley Fool takes a bead on one of the content management vendors we follow. Usually their analysis is pretty good. Today they looked at Vignette's recent stock rise and declared that Vignette's stronger earnings probably come with ample potential volatility as well. I suspect the same could be said for all the independent content technology vendors. However, a rising tide of demand continues to lift all their boats. You shouldn't make technology purchasing decisions based on stock price movements, but the continued strength of independent vendors is probably good for buyers, among other things because it makes abrupt or senseless mergers less likely.

"As high-end web consultants, we use a variety of research tools to keep on top of the evolving technology platforms. Among these, Real Story Group is by far the best--a sort of bible for our CMS consulting practice. We've used The Web CMS Research both to get a jump on understanding products in advance of a formal CMS selection, as well as to start the conversation about potential partnerships. It's also great when a client asks you about an obscure product -- and you can get back to them within an hour with a grounded, thoughtful appraisal of the product, knowing that the information is accurate and written by analysts with real perspective."
