Surveys News & Articles

If you've got some golden nuggets of content management insight to share -- anything from stories, tips and lessons learned -- the CMS Mythbusters need you. 

In an effort to create a well-rounded 2010 CMS wisdom report, the network is conducting a quick and painless survey, and your countribution "may be the difference between CMS life or death for a future implementation."

Each participant will receive a copy of the report once it's complete, and one lucky individual (drawn at random) gets a shiny new iPad. What's not to love?

Why traditional web surveys are broken.

Is there a secret recipe for successful Web analytics programs? If there is, you might help us figure it out. 

While it’s mildly annoying to have a flock of sales associates approach you the second you step into a store, but apparently consumers don’t mind the special attention when they’re shopping on the Internet.

This is especially important to note when you consider numbers like 74, which, according to a recent survey from SDL Tridion (news, site), is the percentage of people who actually like it when businesses mine their personal shopping information.

The company behind the WordPress blogging platform has just announced their acquisition of PollDaddy.

That’s right, Automattic and the Web-based polling and survey company are now intertwined. Based out of Sligo, Ireland, PollDaddy offers free polls with the option to run more detailed and advanced surveys at an annual rate.

Trampoline Systems provides social networking solutions to enterprises, so it should be no surprise that they were hanging out at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston and the Web 2.0 strategies event in London. While at these events, they took the time to survey over 111 delegates on their use or planned use of social networking technologies. The results? Well, not really surprising. The question is, were all the right questions asked?

About a year ago, CMSWire reported on the number of women resigning from information technology jobs in the UK. A new report now indicates that women in IT in the US are declining as well.

In 2006, women made up only 26.7 percent of computer and mathematical positions according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The downward trend has been found across all IT jobs categories with only 16 percent of all network and computer systems administrator positions being held by women in 2006, dropping from 23.4 percent in 2000.

Web users and bloggers went tête à tête in recent survey of Internet users conducted by the legal firm, DLA Piper. The survey focused on the possibility of instituting a voluntary code of conduct for bloggers and online commentators.

There was a noticeable divide: nearly half of all internet users would support such a code whereas only 34% of bloggers did.

It was a gray winter morning in CMSland and here's how we decided to spend it: we packed down a block of fresh soda bread and headed over to Chez Technorati to have a gander at their 100 most linked-to (popular) blogs. With that list in hand we skipped about through viewed source, many emails and some kindly conversation. In the end we had ourselves a nifty little list consisting of website name and the blogging technology or Web CMS platform said site ran on.

Simply put, we found that WordPress dominates the list, that Movable Type comes in with a respectable second, and the rest are either custom jobbies or a smattering of other platforms which are, relatively speaking, eating dust. We enclose the full list here for your consideration, but first a couple of notes on the results.
