“What's the proper etiquette for editing & deleting your own FF posts & comments? I always feel guilty when I edit, but I also hate stupid errors that make me sound like a retard”
Same thing happens to me on twitter. Took me three times to get something out the other day. After two I wondered, "do I stop now to not look illiterate?" - Bradley Goetsch
@Bradley it's total torture for me to see a simple misspelling in one of my tweets - especially when the mistake reads like sonething a 2nd grader wrote - Jennifer Van Grove

I edit my stuff all the time. I do it with my blog posts as well. No reason not to fix a grammar or spelling error or fix a sentence to better reflect what you think about something. - Thomas Hawk
I know, I mildly obsess over it for days! Not sure that's good :) - Bradley Goetsch
I'm a fan of heavy editing; I mess up things like tense, punctuation, plurality, capitalization, and various other silly things all the time. - Mark Trapp
I edit often too. I do my best to correct any typo I detected. I also delete comments. Not that I regret them, but for example when I think that my opinion doesn't add much to the current discussion and distrubs the flow of it, or when I just want to give an argument to something going trolly and try to end it asap - directeur
I edit my comments. I usually catch them soon after I post since they bounce to the top. - Russellreno
etiquette = correct yo own mistakes (Edit's), delete. =NO, just fess up w/new comment - Peter Dawson
Peter: better one IMHO: don't delete when you have an answer to your post. - directeur
Question is: who's at fault here for not fact checking? The guy who posted the original tweet? Or the thousands who re-tweeted it? - Carlos Granier-Phelps
Or the rest of us for caring. This has gone on with websites, newsgroups, bulletin boards, and chat rooms for years now. - Chris White
This is highly dependent on the purpose of the CMS. If you are talking about a corporate website with minimal "functionality", then yes absolutely a good choice. - Rob Diana
I agree with Rob. It depends on your particular goals for the website as well as inhouse technical expertise. - felix
Use the right tool for the right job. WordPress while powerful can't do it all. - Mike Wills
Indeed: the most important factor I've found when choosing CMSes is availability and cost of devleopment/support. If I don't have developers who can work with a system, it could be a million times better than what the alternative is, it doesn't help. But if you have developers ready to support it, I'd make a cost benefit analysis argument. How is Wordpress going to be cheaper, in the short term and the long term, than alternatives? - Mark Trapp
Nothing extraordinary -- some static pages, blogging capability, maybe some quick polls. - Shey
Sounds like WP is a very reasonable way to go. It's great for all those things and adding in plugins is very easy. - felix
@Jake Haven't tackled the beast that is Drupal yet. Wanted to start with something I'm familiar with. - Shey
Shey it sounds like WordPress may be a good option for what you are doing. The administration is fairly simple, and adding content is not hard at all. - Rob Diana
I guess it depends on what aspects of CMS your organization deem critical. On the surface, drupal seems like a much better choice, but it all depends. No VP of any division wants to hear about longer development times. But specifically what you named, Wordpress MU could do fairly quickly. Keep in mind the security aspects as well. Wordpress can be a security nightmare. - Bwana
Shey, it doesn't sound like you need Drupal, that would add a lot of complexity for functionality you don't seem to need. - felix
NOOO!!! Run away! Sharepoint is document management, not content mgmt. Big, HUGE difference. Running a website with sharepoint is a difficult proposition. The .Net libraries are interesting and useful, but any customizations with Sharepoint are a software development project. Need voting for WP, there's a plugin that takes 5 minutes to load. - Rob Diana
@Shey: SharePoint is a great platform and product out of the box. Integrates tightly with Office. You'll need an admin that can keep the farm healthy, 1 dev max, and a good deployment. - mojay

sharepoint is ok if you don't want to customize anything, it is severely limited if you do...the plus side to sharepoint is it integrates with active directory nicely. I prefer expressionengine, very flexible, nice security and great support. The downside to EE is it is not free. - Globecode

@Shey are you thinking of MOSS 2007? or is Portal a separate piece? If you are going sharepoint definitely go with 2007. It actually works and the APIs are much nicer. 2003 is a nightmare. - Rob Diana
@Rob Yes, that's what I meant. Looking into a trial version to see what I'll have to be dealing with. - Shey
@Shey: My job for the past 2.5 years has been SharePoint; 03 then 07. I'm the admin and develop with another colleague. AD integration is great for security. It's a powerful document management solution and collaboration portal. MCS (MS Consulting) helped with the initial deployment. .Net allows you to integrate with other systems and build your own web parts (widgets). There's a basic workflow out of the box. WWF, WCF and Visual Studio 08 to develop complex workflows. Big dev community and resources. - mojay
Thanks Mo. 2007 is bloody expensive, but they'll probably want 2003 anyway - Shey
A VP of Operations? That's easy. Tell them WP is so simple and universal that all the labor associated with can be outsourced overseas. Guys with stripes *love* that sort of stuff. - Chris Baskind
I would say with what you want to build WordPress is perfect, Joomla and Drupal are to complex. Especially if you are also considering letting more people blog. What are the chances that they have experience with WordPress. It is not just the maintenance, it is also about how easy it is to use for the article writers. When the tools are too difficult t use you will see no posts. - Erno Hannink
@Sam Guzman Thanks man. don't know why but seems like socialthing and I just don't match. Can you send me another one at palin at in.com? - Palin Ningthoujam
Sent Palin...that was my last socialthing invite. - Sam Guzmán
Thanks for the invites! If you have any Orgoo left over I'd take one, but if someone else needs one I don't want to be greedy :) chacha102(at)gmail(dot)com - Chacha

It's bad enough that social media always informs me of my inadequacy by showing me how few "friends" I have, Plurk goes the next level by telling me how bad I am at using it in general with that whole Karma thing. :) There are things I like about it, but I really, really hate that karma. Encouraging frivolous use does not make for a good user experience. - felix
plurk is plurk. it will get better. it is myspace. more closed and hipper then thou. it will work, but not 4 the geeks. I like it better here. I'll stay if you don't block me now. - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Plurk went down earlier tonight - Most moved right over to Twitter. They're all vehicles for those who are actually succeeding in blogging as an occupation (a small percentage at best) that cross over different demographic lines, drawing new visitors - Charlie Anzman
Charlie... isn't that a good thing. don't we want to be around bloggers? - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Noah - Certainly wasn't implying it's a bad thing (I'm there occasionally). It's just the instant negative decisions that some make. It may not be right for them, but that doesn't mean a 'service' doesn't have a life or potential in some way. - Charlie Anzman
