Danish CMS vendor Sitecore released their new version 6.3 last month. For me, the immediate question always is: how much has changed? It's only a dot release, so it shouldn't be anything major, right? Well ... Continue Reading

There's a lot of mysticism shrouding Autonomy's mega-search offering, "IDOL." Not in the least bit because every piece of software that is acquired by the vendor is either "plugged into," "powered by," or "integrated with" IDOL. Supposedly, ... Continue Reading

However, make no mistake: FAST may be a lot less expensive, but it's certainly not going to come cheap. Not in the least bit because implementing it right will still be an expert's job. ... Continue Reading

Well, it was to be expected: after a long wait, WordPress 3.0 got released just when I was on a short holiday. (WordPress admins shouldn't be allowed to take holidays for that exact reason.) ... Continue Reading

Now that we've built content management to reach into the clouds, have we been punished by a confusion of tongues? Sure, there are tangible differences between, say, a page-based or a component-based system. And some labels are rooted in their underlying technology. Still, there's a couple of archetypes we could at least attempt to label similarly ... Continue Reading

Politics aside, I've always enjoyed watching the occasional French president's speech on television. Where U.S. presidents act, well, presidential, and the Queen will be regal, a French head of state is much more expansive. And nowadays, we can also compare another style: on-line presence ...

And Cupertino for the advancement of HTML 5 ... Continue Reading
