Michael Fienen replied to Riley Wills's discussion Have content management systems started to integrate real-time collaboration technologies?"In short, no. Off the top of my head, I don't know of any CMS that's doing this as part of the implementation. Generally, workflows within a CMS don't tolerate asynchronous development well, usually out of a need for data integrity…"
Michael Fienen replied to Donna Dralus's discussion Freelance Writing Rates"I'd also recommend not looking into hiring folks for one off, per/word or per/page type writers. I'd look into what you could do with a creative staffing firm to help out, for instance what they do at VitaminTalent.…"

Michael Fienen replied to Todd Pousley's discussion Mobile Website Vendors in the group Mobile"Following up late on this discussion as well.
Frankly, I'm not sure I'd recommend working with a vendor on a mobile site. Doing even a basic mobile site isn't actually that big of an undertaking, especially if your normal site is…"
Michael Fienen replied to Colleen Brennan-Barry's discussion wCMS Questions: Joomla, TYPO3, WebGUI"My favorite was how a page's template could change based on what menu you used to get to it - a behavior far more maddening than it was novel and useful.
I also have recollections of murdering puppies while trying to build templates for it."
Michael Fienen replied to Colleen Brennan-Barry's discussion wCMS Questions: Joomla, TYPO3, WebGUI"When last I evaluated Typo3 (admittedly not real recently), I found it to be EXTREMELY powerful. However, it was a CMS built by programmers, for programmers, with no consideration whatsoever for unskilled users. There wasn't a user on campus I…"
Michael Fienen replied to Colleen Brennan-Barry's discussion wCMS Questions: Joomla, TYPO3, WebGUI"I don't know much anything about WebGUI. Typo3 is the perfect solution if you hate your users with the fire of 1,000 suns. Joomla if you just need the fire of a single sun."

- I am formerly the Director of Web Marketing at Pittsburg State University. I am currently a writer for .eduGuru, CTO for nuCloud, and Senior Interactive Developer for Aquent.
At PSU I oversaw the general development and maintenance of our primary .edu site, along with several ancillary sites. I was in charge of all aspects of our CMS (a role I currently fill for Aquent now), as well as managing our social media, layout, SEO, accessibility compliance, and other assorted roles. The web shop was a one man show, which forced me to become a master of many trades.
My book, dotCMS From the Ground Up, is available now at http://learndotcms.com/.
I also cause a lot of trouble.

Joe Tannian said… - Hello Michael,
I am new to uwebd and our university is in the process of evaluating several CMSs, OmniUpdate, Cascade and dotCMS seem like the strongest contenders. What do you like most and least about dotCMS?
We are use to extending our current in house developed CMS. Does dotCMS have an API for accessing content. Does it plugin architecture or support for JSP enable you to easily extend its functionality?
Are you aware of pros or cons vs Cascade or OmniUpdate?
Thanks, for any potential guidance you can give,
Joe

- Michael, Ektron CMS400.NET has many good features. The only thing I don't like about it is that it only runs on a Windows machine. Previously, we used the LAMP environment for our Web site. So I am having difficulty getting applications built now. But the CMS package itself is working pretty well. We have found some problems in editing text, etc., and do most things in the code to get around them. However, for my users who do not know code, some things can be difficult. Version 8 is out and we are installing it in August, so I am hoping some of those issues have been resolved. Do you use a CMS?

Ross Shaw posted a discussionFB Page admin privacy
Hi,We have 11 admins for our Facebook page, and we all post as the page, which in our case is 'James Cook University'. I'd like to have it so we post as ourselves, but with our privacy set up so we can partition our activity on the page from the rest of our Facebook 'lives'. Any idea on how to do that?thanks,RossSee More
Michelle Sargent replied to Cassie E's discussion Conferences ... which to choose?"Hi Cassie
I haven't been to HigherEdWeb, but attended eduWeb last year. The social media stream was a little disappointing, very basic and not tailored to an intermediate/advanced audience. Though, my colleague who also attended said the mobile…"
