10 Promising Content Management Systems

Nov 6 2008 by Jacob Gube | 200 Comments

When it comes to content management systems (CMS) and publishing platforms, there are plenty to choose from. They vary in technologies used, organization structure, performance, and license. You’ve probably heard of popular content management systems such as Drupal, WordPress, Movable Type, Joomla!, and Textpattern, but if you want to try a platform that’s a little less main stream – check out these excellent alternatives.
In this article, you’ll find 10 terrific content management systems that may not garner as much attention as their more popular counterparts – but should.
There’s a large amount of content management systems out there, so if your favorite isn’t on here, share it with us in the comments.

ExpressionEngine

Go to ExpressionEngine demo

ExpressionEngine is a powerful and easy-to-use content management system. ExpressionEngine is known for its flexibility and intuitive Template Engine that lets developers easily mold the CMS into its intended use. It has a built-in caching feature that significantly reduces server load (helpful in times of high traffic). Check out the Showcase section on EE’s website to see live sites that use ExpressionEngine.

Concrete5

Go to Concrete5 demo
Concrete5 is a solid content management system that’s a breeze to use. You can edit a web page live by entering "edit mode", which makes the regions and elements on the web page you are viewing editable. It has a very robust administration panel with a built-in system for gathering statistics so you don’t need to install a plugin/extension or use a third party application like Google Analytics to monitor your site traffic.

Radiant CMS

Go to Radiant CMS demo
Radiant CMS focuses itself for use in small teams. It’s designed as a simple and elegant CMS akin to 37 Signals applications, holding out on complicated and unnecessary features to provide users a straightforward interface for creating and editing website content.

CushyCMS

CushyCMS is a "plug-and-play" content management system that doesn’t require you to install anything to get it working, which can greatly reduce your maintenance cost and development time. With CushyCMS, you define which areas are editable, making it a safe option to your not-very-tech-savvy clients. CushyCMS is currently being used by about 10,000 websites and is gaining popularity as a no-hassle, user-friendly CMS.

Symphony

Go to Symphony demo
Symphony, created by Overture, is a CMS designed for developers, utilizing XSLT to provide developers flexibility in customizing Symphony. If you don’t know much about XSLT, Overture provides a large number of tutorials and screencasts on their resource center. With that said, Symphony isn’t for everybody and those looking for a content management system that requires little technical expertise should probably consider another option.

MODx

MODx is both a content management system and a PHP web application framework. MODx puts a high emphasize on web standards, allowing you to build XHTML 1.1 strict compliant websites easily. It comes with a build-in CSS menu builder for hassle-free site navigation development.

To help you get started on Railfrog, check out its Developer Portal where you’ll find guides that you can follow to get rolling.

TYPO3 CMS

TYPO3 is an open-source, enterprise-level content management system focused on providing companies a solution for websites and their intranet.

SDL Customer Experience Cloud for seamless global customer experiences across all channels, devices, languages and cultures

Today’s businesses have to meet their customers’ expectations of getting consistently integrated experiences across all channels, devices and languages. But can they master the challenges? A recent CMO Council study, for instance, reveals that only 12% of CMOs have a real-time, well-integrated view of customer interactions across their enterprises and a Harris Interactive Customer Experience Impact Report study reports that 60% of customers would pay more for a better customer experience.
To address this gap, SDL just launched the SDL Customer Experience Cloud, a unified suite of offerings, to help marketers create and deliver seamless global customer experiences across all channels, devices and languages. By integrating web content management, campaign management, social intelligence and analytics, SDL Customer Experience Cloud gives companies the power to optimize multi-channel customer experiences from any device, understand brand health and product perception in real-time, and adjust campaign strategies to increase marketing effectiveness and impact revenue—from a single interface.
“The Customer Experience Cloud packs all the critical elements of customer experience management into one accessible suite and delivers on our vision that every marketer can meet the expectations of their global customer base and remain connected and responsive throughout the entire buyer journey” states Mark Lancaster, CEO, SDL.

“By 2017, 70% of customer communications will be digital, contextualized and consumed on demand with multiple channels, including Web, mobile devices and social media. Enterprises are taking steps to provide a more personalized and engaging customer experience for traditional communications such as transaction documents, marketing collateral and point-of- purchase displays. Today, only 22% of those customer communications are digital — the majority are still paper-based,” SDL’s CEO says.
With more than 1,500 global enterprise customers — including 72 of the top 100 global brands — and 400 partners, SDL is one of the only vendors with a truly integrated, comprehensive customer experience management offering. And SDL Customer Experience Cloud empowers the entire organization from marketing through to customer support to understand, create, manage and deliver contextually relevant customer experiences that drive better marketing decisions, e-commerce success and long-term customer engagement.

Facebook quiso comprar Twitter .

TARINGA!

Facebook quiso comprar Twitter

SAN FRANCISCO, Estados Unidos.- Es sabido que luego de llegar a la cima Facebook iba a intentar quedarse con todo. "Pero hay cosas que el dinero no puede comprar", dice una famosa publicidad, que no le debe hacer gracia a Mark Zuckerberg, quien en 2008 habría intentado comprar Twitter.

El rumor se materializó luego de que Financial Times publicó un informe asegurando que la red social más popular del mundo intento fagocitar a la de microblogging a cambio de u$s 500 millones.

A pesar de la jugosa oferta, el diario económico contó que Biz Stone, Evan Williams y Jack Dorsey, fundadores de Twitter, decidieron apostar al crecimiento de su compañía -que todavía da pérdidas-.
Los números mostrados por Twitter dicen que ya cuenta con más de 175 millones de usuarios (lejos de los 500 millones de Facebook) y 25 mil millones de tweets enviados durante todo 2010. (Especial)

Por qué Facebook compró WhatsApp.

Revista Digital

feb192014

Y la pregunta es: Por qué Facebook compró WhatsApp

Facebook anunció la compra de whatsapp. La compra fue por 16 mil millones de dólares, con 4 mil millones en efectivo y 12 mil millones en acciones de Facebook. ¿Que lectura se da a esta compra? simple, dice un dicho, “si no puedes con el enemigo, únete a él”. Facebook no pudo con whatsapp con el Messenger Facebook por lo que decidió mejor, comprar la mensajería.

¿Qué implicaciones habrá? Que va a pasar? Tranquilos. No va a cambiar nada de lo que ya esta, así lo aseguran desde whatsapp y por su parte, Facebook ha expresado que la idea es que whatsapp mantenga su independencia, igual como sucede con Instagram, y al menos por el momento, no hay intención alguna de monetizar la mensajería más popular, es decir no habrá anuncios en las conversaciones.

Mark Zuckerberg y el co fundador de whatsapp expresaron su beneplácito ante este acuerdo. Y bueno solo resta esperar que haya mejoras importantes en Whatsapp que aún le faltan ciertas funciones que tienen otras mensajerías como la integración con servicios de almacenamiento en nube como Dropbox para compartir archivos más grandes como música, vídeos y archivos de todo tipo, que se fortalezca la seguridad y que haya una app para escritorio, algo que la mayoría de las mensajerías tienen.

Pero ¿por qué Facebook compró Whatsapp? Por el crecimiento brutal de whatsapp, más n Facebook, Twitter, Gmail y Skype. Whatsapp cuenta con 450 millones de usuarios activos al mes. Facebook tiene 145 millones, Gmail 123 millones, Twitter 54 millones y Skype 52 millones de usuarios. Más cifras, de los 450 millones de usuarios activos del whatsapp, el 70 por ciento están activos cada día y en un día se suben a la mensajería 600 millones de fotos y 100 millones de vídeos y se registran más de un millón de nuevos usuarios cada día. En conclusión, con la compra de Whatsapp, Facebook tiene el control de gran parte de la mensajería instantea global, es dueña del liderazgo en mensajerías en el ecosistema móvil.

Futuro de Facebook

Hace poco escuche que dentro de poco la nueva red social se llamaria, TweetFaceYouTube, como la App llamada Tweetface, pero no estaba muy lejos de la realidad, ya que Facebook despues de recuperarse sus precios de las acciones en la Bolsa de Nueva York, primer paso: compra Instagram.

Luego quiso comprar Twitter, segundo paso: compra WhatsApp. El gigante de la redes sociales hoy le reclama a la Administracion de Barack Obama la intromision de la NSA en internet, esto es lo que esta pasando ahora mismo.

Como yo lo veo en el futuro es asi: Facebook sera el unico en el mercado, comprara las empresas pequeñas con ideas geniales, se hara poseedora de toda la informacion de la gente del mundo, sera visual, ya no sera mas un muro de tu perfil, sera tu canal de television.
Google y YouTube se asociaran a Facebook, y los mensajes instantaneos, mas los comentarios, reportajes de terceros tomaran relevancia, ser reportero de noticias no sera facil, ya que cualquiera sera reportero de la noticia, en el lugar, hora, donde suceda.

Los canales de television por cable estaran en desventaja con estos gigantes dominando la escena del internet, nosotros en nuestro perfil de Fcaebook cargaremos imagenes de nuestras de fiestas, el video Curriculum Vitae o Resume sera lo que se cargue en nuestro muro.

Los Espacios seran manejados por controlares de videos noticias, cuidando la etica y moral, los buenos modales y educacion, se intercalaran comerciales televisivos, los cuales seran los que mantendran este gigante canal de television que se podra llamar FaceYouTube, asi sera nuestro futuro de relaciones interprofesionales y personales.

Responsablemente redifundo este mensaje identificándome con cada punto y coma:
Lo que hemos descubierto en la crisis venezolana.
Cada descubrimiento es literal.
1: Hay más tanquetas que Ambulancias
2. Hay ambulancias que transportan asesinos armados
3. Hay más bombas lacrimógenas que gas para cocinar
4. Hay más perdigones de plástico y balas que comida
5. Hay más cagadas del Gobierno que Papel Higiénico
6. La OEA defiende a los Presidentes y no a los Pueblos
7. Que estos tipos mataron a mucha gente en los intentos de golpe del 4F y 27 N de 1992 para tratar de alcanzar el poder y son capaces de matar a muchos más para no perder el poder
8. Que el Presidente de un país pequeñito como PANAMA tiene más dignidad que los Presidentes de Brasil , Argentina, Ecuador y Colombia juntos
