ECMHUB.com Offers A One-Stop Resource For ECM Information
With the ambitious goal of creating a centralized location that consolidates industry-wide news and information, ECMHUB.com uses tag cloud-driven navigation to lead to news, blogs, videos and other content. The range of topics is broad, covering everything from enterprise content management and knowledge management to e-discovery to individual vendors. The technology behind the site is impressive. It has taken some 400 feeds from multiple sources and created a mashup to consolidate them into a constantly growing site with thousands of items. The Dojo Foundation recently spotlighted ECMHUB.com's implementation of its JavaScript Dojo Toolkit: What makes ECMHUB unique is the ability for the application to track the status of an entire industry through a massive mashup of blogs, news, Webcasts, events, discussions, videos, and RFPs. Implementing Ajax powered through Dojo provides a single-page, single-click Website that eliminates the need for individuals to search or aggregate industry information on their own. While that's glowing praise, ECMHUB.com isn't perfect. The navigation is a mix of tags, tabs, and scrolling, which I found to be a little funky. I can't help thinking that while it's clearly Web 2.0 under the hood, its user interface is a little rough around the edges. That said, it was released just a month and a half ago, and it's already off to a great start. I'm certain it's going to be a site worth watching going forward. « Can't Migrate Virtual Machines Across Different Chips? Red Hat Can | Main | Is Blockbuster Still A Brand Without Its Stores? » |
