IBM downsizes Web portal software. The company aims its new software at small and medium-sized businesses by dropping some of the features intended for large corporations and making it easier to install and use. [CNET News.com] 6:54:45 PM      comment []

Wikis and Weblogs complement the portals in the collaboration space Corporate blogging wiki portal. Looks like Hugh Brian is experimenting with combining the Roller weblogger, the Chiki wiki, and the Jetspeed portal to form a corporate website. Looks like a useful combo and it looks like a fun project. I hope he will give the Roller project some feedback and tell us how we can help to make this sort of integration easier. BTW, I don't know Hugh, but he popped up in my referrers log this morning. Now you know why Roller does not have a referrers feature yet: I've still got a valid Radio account. [Blogging Roller] The open source begins to implement the convergence of wiki, weblogs and portals. To me it's a no brainer that wikis and weblogs add the relevant collaboration tools to portals. It will be interesting to see what they come up with in terms of integration. I would add Groove to the mix.   2:01:25 PM Google It!      comment []
