In the competitive landscape of web content management, having the latest features can be a major advantage, so kudos to Jadu (news, site) for being the first to claim an integrated Twitter module in its Web CMS.

Jadu, a UK-based web content management company, has released an updated version of its namesake product, Jadu CMS. With version 1.8 Jadu focuses on delivering and managing content combined with social computing capabilities.

There is a slew of new features and capabilities to highlight.  For starters, Jadu 1.8 (codenamed Clearwater) introduces the idea of Jadu Directories -- key component of the new CMS platform. Looking to allow advanced functionality use by non-technical users, the Web CMS offers the use of directories to deliver database and directory information. Directories can be configured to pull data from outside data sources, including spreadsheets or other databases.

Jadu, the Web Content Management vendor, has released a product that will help bridge the gap between PHP and .NET software development languages. The company's Phalanger PHP compiler will allow PHP applications to be compiled into the .NET framework.

This new product from Jadu will help bridge the gap between .NET, a common application framework found in corporate environments, and PHP, the most popular web programming language found on open source web services on the Internet. As a result, companies should be able to shave off application development costs.

UK-based Jadu is positioning its latest release, Jadu Blogs for Jadu 1.7 CMS, as something, if not bigger than blog platforms like WordPress and Movable Type, then in a league all its own. A league we foolishly didn’t even consider. A league in which blogging is a reason, in and of itself, to start thinking CMS.

To leave no room for imagination, Jadu itself calls its Blogs offering “Blog Content Management.” Well, that’s something we can run away with.

The latest research on the Content Management Systems (CMS) software market in Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) indicates that the market, currently valued at US $102.0 million, is expected to grow strongly at a 5-year CAGR of 16.6%, surpassing the US$200 million mark before the end of the decade.
