22 April 2014, Amsterdam - Hippo has launched Hippo CMS 7.9 with extended functionality for all users, improving ease of use and security.
WordPress 3.9 has been released with a number of refinements that WordPress hopes you'll "love". The changes and new features are solid but perhaps not as many as we've come to expect given past WordPress point releases. Some of the new features that can be found in WordPress 3.9 include improvements in the media editing experience, gallery previews, and live editing of widgets and headers.
"After under-buying and over-buying, the most common mistake I see in buying a CMS is looking at the wrong list of vendors. The WCM marketplace is saturated and hard to navigate, in truthfulness. Many organizations fall victims to this complexity and chose from completely wrong tools."

Given the flurry of product announcements this week, my desk is stacked high with press releases and requests for review. The most notable of these recent announcements are for ImpressPages 4.0, Jahia 7, and Umbraco 7.1. Each of these content management systems deserve their own review. However, this is a Friday and time isn't on my side. So, I thought at the least there would be value in mentioning the release of these products and give you the option to follow up on your own for additional information.

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to put out a plug for my review of the Magnolia CMS on CMS-Connected last month. This was probably one of the easiest shows I've done in the sense that the Internet connection was good and the rest of the show seemed to complement my own segment well. My thanks to Boris Kraft, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer for Magnolia, for briefing me well about their product and spending some extra time with me during the demo.
Los Angeles, CA – Mar. 18, 2014 – Siteport, a site migration software and services company based out of Long Beach, California, announces a new SharePoint connector to their suite of Content Management System (CMS) connectors.
“SharePoint was created primarily for internal use-cases,” said Diego Rebosio, Siteport CEO. “However, many customers who also used it for their external-facing websites. They’re not finding it as flexible as the enterprise web content management systems on the market. For this and other reasons, many are deciding to move their sites and Siteport now gives them a quick and easy way to do so.”
