So as promised I will be adding part 2 of my 3 part segment on Internet Marketing vs Ethical SEO Consulting and the major differences in how they treat their marketing tactics and exposure on the web ( for whatever reason that may be). Today however, I am writing to talk about a new, for lack of a better term, underground, cms platform that doesn't have the popularity of Joomla but has...
the functionality of Joomla on Steroids in my opinion. It is truly a phenomenon in my opinion and for web developers and others in the industry I believe it will be the STANDARD for how we conduct business on the web. Everyday there are more and more sites developed and with that there are development techniques and strategies that are making our jobs a little easier. I look at it this way, at one time, all of us were segregated by land and african americans lived in, well, Africa. Europeans in Europe and those of Asian decent were in Asia. As modes of travel were developed and populations grew it allowed for people of different cultures to come together and meet for the first time. The internet is becoming more and more an "art imitating life" type of deal. Platforms that were once segregated by the code from which they were derived. With the technology and the interaction of social networks, now code types are going across platforms and process are becoming part of a united fleet that can be dismantled and reconstructed with minimal complexities for those who are at the forefront of development. The CMS platform I am relating to does not have a title as far as I know and doesn't have a united community as Joomla either. When I see a website that was made in Joomla I know that it was Joomla, I don't know how it just behaves in the same fashion and others who work with this can agree that there is this way, we as developers, look at sites that we can differentiate what sources or platforms they were constructed on. I am seeing this new platform pop up more and more and tonight my wife, the beautiful Melissa Puleo Adams, showed me a brand new site I had not seen yet. It is called, "fliggo.com" it allows you to create a site in a matter of minutes and have it LIVE, exactly in the same manner as wordpress but easier. The mind blowing difference is that it was developed for video hosting. There is no other site, to my knowledge, like this on the web. Yea we can create our own channels on youtube so on and so forth but this is a dedicated video blogging site specifically! Check it out for sure, it will be a good read at the least. Some how, through that site I was directed to another cms site that behaves much like fliggo and is a member of the same CMS family from which I have been speaking of. It is called Posterous, it allows you to start a blog post and make it live. The difference is send a sms text, an email, a post on twitter, facebook, myspace, typepad, blogger whatever you want or define and it will collectively house them in your own personal social network blog. The mother hub of social blogging for who you are. The first post I read ever on this Posterous site was by a professor who was using twitter as courseware for his class at a school in San Fransisco. David Silver claims that he uses Twitter for communication purposes with his class and that it replaces three teaching technologies that, in his opinion, and mine, are dead anyways but still used. For his full review on how he uses it in the classroom go to posterous.com Thats all Im going to go into it because I paused my set up process to get this written because I couldn't wait to get this out to those who it would interest. Please stay tuned for part 2 of my 3 part segment on IM vs SEO's coming soon. I am enabling commenting soon with my site because I love any feed back I can get. For now please just send any comments or responses you may have to
