Now Your Content Management System Needs
To Be Optimized For Search
05/12/2004 05:13 PMHow important is having your content optimized for search these days?
Apparently, it's so important that a content management system vendor
has teamed up with a search engine optimizer to
make
sure the content management system itself is built to be ranked higher
in search engines. That, alone, should suggest just how much some
people are focused on better search engine rankings. As an aside,
does it strike anyone as odd that at the same time that some are
working so hard to get listed in search engines, other content
providers are trying to block their content behind pay and
registration walls - making it
less likely to make it into a
search engine?

What interests me about micro-content business is that the dynamics
of micro-content
business differs drastically between free contents versus paid
contents. Free
contents are consumables. Paid contents are properties.
Thinking of paid content as property is an emotional
perspective. I paid for
it so I must own it even though it cost me only a quarter and
its existance is
tenuous. Thus I think the best business models for paid
content business must leverage
this human weakness.

Resumes are Micro-content
Resumes are Micro-content
07/01/2004 04:59 PMRight on to my brother Lucas
Gonze - who not only groks it (in
regards to Resumes)- but is also helping to establish playlists as a clear, open, sharable new
kind of micro-content!
Lucas writes....
I know of three kinds of syndicateable microcontent right now:
reviews, weblog entries, and playlists. It just struck me that resumes
are microcontent.
We could easily have standard XML format for resumes. Given that,
resume editors could compete to be the best at handling the standard,
XSLT and CSS could be developed independently of any one resume, and
job sites could import the data rather than force the user to type it
into a custom format.
Update from George Hotelling:
The HR
XML project already has a schema for
resumes.

emming Funch raps it out. My reply below....
"Microcontent" seems to be one of the buzzwords now. So, what is
that, really?
Jakob Nielsen, interface guru, used it (first?)
in 1998 about stuff like titles, headlines and subject lines. The idea
being that first you might see just a clickable title, or a subject
line of an e-mail, that you then might or might not decide to open.
So, that title needs to be representative of the full thing, or you
might not click it, or you'll be disappointed when you do.
Microcontent (the title) needs to match macrocontent (the page,
e-mail, article).
Now, that doesn't quite seem to be how
"microcontent" is used nowadays. OK, on to 2002, Anil Dash says this,
talking about a client for microcontent:
Microcontent is information published in short form,
with its length dictated by the constraint of a single main topic and
by the physical and technical limitations of the software and devices
that we use to view digital content today. We've discovered in the
last few years that navigating the web in meme-sized chunks is the
natural idiom of the Internet. So it's time to create a tool that's
designed for the job of viewing, managing, and publishing
microcontent. This tool is the microcontent client. For the purposes
of this application, we're not talking about microcontent in the
strict Jakob Nielsen definition that's now a few years old, which
focused on making documents easy to skim.
Today, microcontent
is being used as a more general term indicating content that conveys
one primary idea or concept, is accessible through a single definitive
URL or permalink, and is appropriately written and formatted for
presentation in email clients, web browsers, or on handheld devices as
needed. A day's weather forcast, the arrival and departure times for
an airplane flight, an abstract from a long publication, or a single
instant message can all be examples of
microcontent.
Oh, and an absolutely excellent article
it is. It calls for the building of a client, a program that will
allow us to consume and create microcontent easily. Not just aggregate
it, but allow us to use it in meaningful ways. I.e. seeing the
information how we want to see it, without having to put up with
different sites' different user interface quirks. Good examples he
gives at the time is
Sherlock or
Watson on Macs. You can
browse pictures, movies, flight schedules, ebay auctions and more, all
from the same interface, and without having to go to the sites they
actually come from. But we're still not quite talking open standards
for all that.
What is needed is the semantic web, of course.
Where all content has a uniform format, and is flagged with pieces of
meaning that can be accessed and collected by machines. Isn't there
yet. Many smart people are playing with pieces of it, like
Jon Udell,
or
Sam
Ruby. Or, look at
Syncato. All
stuff mostly for hardcore techies at this point. But the target is of
course to eventually let regular people easily do what they find
meaningful with any data that's available on the net.
[Mi
ng the Mechanic]
When I use the term 'micro-content' I mean a bunch of something
that has a unique URL associated with it. An encapsulated piece of
content.
Whether it be text, audio, video, forms generated, static or
dynamic -and whether or not it's got meta data attached to it or not -
or any combination there above - it's micro-content.
Blogging is the first 'type'.
People are next.
Now media.
Events are next.
Reviews/Recommendations, Listings, Resumes, Recipes come soon there
after.

Micro-content publishing and Kottke.org
06/06/2005 12:13 AMThough he never
mentions micro-content, micro-formats or structured blogging - Jason
Kottke is clearly doing all three now - officially over at
Kottke.org.
At first glance at his blog, you see seperate blog posts that are
lists of links, reviews, ratngs lists, QotD (quotes of the day) or
plain old vanilla blog posts.
Jason has just added a drop-down to filter ONLY one kind of stuff -
at a time, while also intermixing into this drop-down menu - a few
hard wired RSS feeds.
Why is this significant? Cause an A-List blogger is showing how he
can take all these different kind of blog posts and categorize them
and enable blog vuewers to easily parse through specific kinds of
contet.
No mention of sharing his posts with others (except through the
time honored tradition of search engine spidering) - but I bet that if
we HAD soem standardized schemas - Jason would support
them.

We're going to have a second micro-content
dinner in Amsterdam this Tueday, Sept. 7th - at the Dim Sum Palace - right off the Leidseplein - Leidsestratt 95 - at 7:30 PM.
Lots of folks who couldn't make it last time will be there and some
new folks I've met while here.
With all the happenings going - with all these new standards and
efforts starting up - I was hoping that this roadshow would get some
Europeans involved as well.
Alf Eaton is ready to belly
up to the bar, now let's see if anybody else is.
So we'll feast on Dim Sum, learn about OpenMedia, FOAF and staying pipeline agnostic
- and meet each other! And you get to meet Mimi, Lucy and Lisa -
too.

In conjunction with VloggerCon 2005 - I'll be
hosting a dinner somwehere in NYC on Friday Jan. 21st. I'm thinking
Katz's Deli on Houston.
The idea of the dinner is to bring together folks who are
interested in RIAs, portal containers, Web 2.0, both UPPER CASE and
lower case semantic web, social networking, personal publishing
(beyond just blogging), digital identity, mobile services, knowledge
management applied to humans, new kinds of standards for shared
micro-content and how all these concepts are brought together under
the moniker of "digital lifestyle aggregation".
The next day will be VloggerCon 2005 - and then
we fly to Seattle for the Blog Business Summit.
Marqui is a sponsor there and I'm
talking. Quite a roadshow, quite a time, quite a life.
I hope that some of you can make it to the dinner. Ping me to let
me know if you plan on coming.

Tomorrow night's Amsterdam micro-content dinner will be
held at Moeder's.
The idea of the dinner is to discuss various ideas and
organizations that can help establish new kinds of micro-content -
like Media, Events, Listings, Reviews and other stuff - too!
It's a quaint Dutch place on the
SingelGracht - right at RozenGracht. Now that's not the Singel -
but the SingelGracht. It's at 251 Rozengracht.
7 PM.

Hopefully Lilia Efimova
can make it in from the country. And Garsett Larosse from
Belgium. And Ton Zijlstra
too.
I'm also looking forward to meeting Richard Collins, Riccardo
Cambiassi and Santiago Gala. Don't even know who they are! This
should be fun.
Plus Stumpel drs J.W., Peter Mitchell and Kjetil Larsen.

Sea Shell on Lisson
Grove as the lcoation of our micro-content dinner in London. It's
in Marylebone. Map.
There's a private room downstairs - which will hold 40 people.
The topics under discussion will include:
- Open-Media.org
- FOAFnet.org
- OpenEvents.org
- OpenReviews.org
and other potential efforts around new kinds of micro-content. I've
been working hard to help promulgate these new standards and would
appreciate some help!
They'll be blokes and lassies from all walks
of life, including VCs, Beebsters, Ecademicians, Open University
types, TV producers, bloodey artists and even flaming queers.
Should make for a nice mix.
And everyone gets to meet Lisa, Lucy and the star of the whole show
- MIMI. Sig

Why Do Content Management
05/19/2004 04:31 PMDoes Your Company Have a Content Management
Problem?: Tony Byrne over at CMS Watch (it's two words, don't you know...) has a little checklist on how
to diagnose if you have a content management problem. It's also handy
in describing exactly what enterprise content management is.
When I was looking at large scale content management systems in a
prior position, my original question was, why get a CMS? What value
is it going to bring me? Read this quick list and you'll have 15
reasons, though whether or not they're important to you is a question
you need to answer before you embark.
...Web managers need to "roll back" the site to a previous version
— perhaps for legal or regulatory reasons — but
cannot.
...Content contributors are unable to pre-publish content to appear
at a specified later date or time.
...Website managers cannot associate the company's products and
services to articles or news on the site (or vice-versa).
After reading this, get some perspective by reading this: Content Management Systems Are Like
Relationships.

Predictions for Content Management and IT in 2004: I really like
Ektron, but these "predications" seem a little contrived, especially
since all of them play beautifully into Ektron's sweet spot. Wishful
thinking, perhaps.
Homegrown Web Content Management Gets Abandoned...Websites
- Time for a Redesign...XML Takes Center Stage....Migration to .NET
Server Technology...IT Leads the Push for Efficiency...
That said, Ektron is a good company, and I've heard good things
about their CMS systems. We first encountered Ektron in late 1999
when they were just a baby company.
In fact, when we first called on them to talk about their
ActiveX-based, embeddeble WYSIWYG editor, I think they were running
out of someone's basement at the time. I distinctly remember an older
woman (mother?) answering the phone "Hello" and then getting a
callback from the CEO himself.

Using Wikis for content management...
Using Wikis for content management...
01/09/2004 10:15 PMSo here's a thought partly inspired by an e-mail from a work
colleague and partly by Haughey.com. Creating and editing
wiki pages is extremely simple and elegant once you get past the first
30 minute learning curve. And essentially you end up with a page
that's got an incredibly simple template, pretty well marked-up code
(or at least could do if you used the right Wiki system) and can be
edited incredibly quickly. Now, imagine for a moment that the Wiki
page itself is nothing but a content management interface and that the
Wiki has a separate templating and publishing engine that grabs what
you've written on the page, turns it into a nicely designed
fully-functioning (uneditable) web-page and publishes it to the world.
It could make the creation of small information rich sites enormously
quick - particularly if you built in FTP stuff.
Now one of the problems with using Wikis generally is that they
don't lend themselves to the creation of clear sectionalised
navigation. Nor do they do naturally find it easy to use graphic
design, colour or layout differently on separate pages to communicate
either your context or the your location in the site. That's not to
say that Wikis are broken, of course, just that the particularly
networked rather than heirarchical model of navigation that they lend
themselves towards isn't suitable for all kinds of public-facing sites
(the same could be said of the one-size-fits-all design of the pages).
This would clearly be a problem. Wikis sacrifice that kind of
functionality on the whole in order to gain advantages in other areas
(ie. collaborative site generation and maintainance). Without those
advantages, you'd simply be left with an inferior product.
So how to integrate design and architecture into the production of
a wiki-CMSed website? Well, it's not a particularly new question with
regard to wikis generally - loads of suggestions about how some kinds
of heirarchy could be built in have been made and some of them
implemented. On the whole they've not been terribly successful as they
present a higher level of user-level complexity, and with a lot of
potential naive users, publically editable wikis can't really afford
complexity. But that's not true if only one person or a small group
were to be updating the site. The complexity level could increase a
bit and the learing curve would have to be just a little steeper
initially.
Here's an example of how you could create heirarchy and utilise
different templates at the level of the individual page. First,
imagine a templating interface that allowed you to create an outline
heirarchy of the various sections of a site (just like you'd produce
in the outline view of Word or using something like OmniOutliner).
Now, each section of that site-map could have a distinct template
attached to it, or inherit a template from the section above. Then all
you'd need on the Wiki-page (as content-management interface) would be
a drop-down box on the right that allowed you to choose which section
the page you'd created would sit under. Given that, you could use the
mechanics behind the templating engine automatically generate a
variety of different models of heirarchical navigation and breadcrumb
trails which you could embed into your templates (you could use a
templating mechanism very much like the one used to move content
chunks around weblogs using Typepad). And the same part of the Wiki
page that you use to decide which section the wiki page should be
contained within could also house a .gif thumbnail of the template for
that page. And the assigned section of a new page could even default
to that of the page from which you created it - forward-link from a
page about Troubleshooting (in the section "Help") to create a page
about Error Messages, and Error Messages is automatically created
inside the "Help" section initially. And all of this could then be
'published', pushing everything out in a lovely stylish elegant and
visually rich format to the rest of the world at the push of a
button.
Wouldn't that be cool? Blogger-style management for all kinds of
other sites... The only things that don't seem obvious to me at the
moment is how you make the intra-wiki links not look like Wiki links
to the general public while preserving the ease of use that they
engender for the person creating the pages... Any thoughts?

which is just about the only place I'd want to see one. Honestly,
though, there comes a point (perhaps when you require magnification
equipment) when it's just too small. A note to these
companies with the perpetual smaller-is-better mentalities: Just
because I might one day be able to carry all of my media collection as
well as the Library of Congress on a card the size of an eyelash
doesn't mean I'll want to, dig?
While on the topic of Flash Memory formats, now seems like a good
time to mention LIVEdigitally's Flash Card roundup, wherein they break
down the Flash Jungle into small, manageable pieces.
