Forrester on Blog engines

Forrester reseched a couple of blogengines; Blogging Platforms, Q2 2006

Forrester evaluated leading blogging platforms across 54 criteria and found that iUpload leads the market with its robust blogging capabilities and its strong strategic vision of a blog as a lightweight content management system (CMS), a collaboration and knowledge management tool, and even as a foundation to form communities of customers. When choosing between a full-featured suite like iUpload's Customer Conversation System or strong blogging-focused solutions like Movable Type and WordPress, companies should have a well-developed vision of how blogging will be used within the enterprise and then select a vendor that shares that vision.

Typical. They see Drupal as a Blog Platform a "lightweight CMS", probably because corporate blogging is hip. Well, Drupal is not a blog platform; its a Content managemnet Platform, you can use it for way more then just to run a blog. Somehow, I dont think they will sell lots of copies for this "research", "Price: US$1995.00, Report Length: 15 pages".

You'd be surprised

at how many people would pay that. Short and sweet is part of the game. A lot of Forrester's business is based on "What's up with that? I'll pay you if you can just tell me."

no surprise

i work and have worked for bigger companies. In fact 90% of all the powerpoints in my company MUST have a hypecycle or magic quadrant or so, up to the point that I think they are in the template now... :-)

So no surprise there for me. i do think gartner and others are overhyped them selves and in the lowerleft of the quadrant. you want to know the future? look at the youngsters!
