(via Stephen) A pretty good breakdown of Weblog software use and some good links at the end to various other Weblog related services. I’m surprised by the ranking of Word Press and Expression Engine, neither of which I’ve seen around all that much. Interesting wrap up to the post:
As more businesses find valuable uses for weblog technology, there will be increasing demand for professionally-oriented tools, hosted services, and professional support services. Six Apart and pMachine serve this market now with their Movable Type and Expression Engine applications, but they have barely made a dent given what the opportunity is. Expect a whole new wave of products, services, and companies to be created over the next 12 to 18 months to cater specifically to the business market.
Ok…can’t resist…what about “As more schools find valuable uses for weblog technology…?”
ExpressionEngine is only a few months old, but based on my experience so far, it’s powerful and fun to use. I’m running these sites with EE:
Michiana Chronicles, a collection of weekly radio essays (I’m still filling the archive): http://www.mchron.net/ee/radio
ADP/SB, a blog and op-ed site for I. U. South Bend devoted to the quality of American democracy and the character of active citizenship (I’m still adding features to this site, too): http://www.iusb.edu/~sbadp
I’ll have 40 students using EE this fall, so I’ll report back later.
