Content management is a broad topic that refers to the management of unstructured or semi-structured content as a standalone system or a component of another system. Varieties of content management systems (CMS) include: web content management (WCM), enterprise content management (ECM), component content management (CCM), and digital asset management (DAM) systems. Content management systems are also now widely marketed as Digital Experience Management (DEM or DXM, DXP), and Customer Experience Management (CEM or CXM) systems or platforms, and may include additional marketing technology functions.
Content strategy topics include information architecture, content and information models, content globalization, and localization.

Stephen Arnold, author of the report Beyond Search, as well as two books on Google, has put together a free service that aggregates the headlines from Google’s own blogs. The service is called Overflight. “Overflight is an RSS aggregation service. The service that is now publicly available aggregates the headlines from Google’s 74 Web logs. We group the most recent headlines using the same categories that Google favors.”
What a great idea. Thanks Steve!

We were recently introduced to the Executive Certification in Web Globalization Management by our friends Nitish Singh and Ulrich Henes during October’s Localization World conference. We’re thrilled to have both Singh and Henes as participants in the Globalization track at Gilbane Boston 2008, December 2-4.
A new venture within the executive education arm of John Cook School of Business at St. Louis University, it is quite an impressive program! And beyond compliments such as well-designed and timely, the program’s message of “why invest now?” — or more pointedly as the program describes, “why supercharge?” — is a mini-lesson in and of itself.
Consider the megatrends that answer these questions: (full text available here)
- Megatrend-1: Web will be critical to achieving global expansion.
- Megatrend-2: Innovation in the new economy will be driven by blurring of disciplinary boundaries.
- Megatrend-3: Hyperconnectivity will redefine how people and organizations communicate.
- Megatrend-4: Value systems will compete globally.
- Megatrend-5: Smart organizations will harness the power of “Collective Intelligence.”
- Megatrend-6: Economies of China, India and Brazil will be future engines of growth.
Powerful food for thought and incentive to check it out — and register for Spring 2009. No travel required!
