Local Media Goes Paywall
Yesterday, my local newspaper, the Argus Leader, announced that they will be moving toward a subscription model for their online content. For all the progress that has been made, my gut tells me that content providers still don't "get us" and the subscription format still needs to evolve before both customer and publisher are happy. We should be charged for the content and not the content format.

Mass.gov redesigned state portal using Percussion WCM Software
I'm a huge fan of eGovernment and Government 2.0 initiatives. A few years ago we started seeing government sites adopting open data initiatives and adding features that allowed the public to provide more feedback to the government that served them. Changes such as these are good initiatives by governments as they continue their evolution into the digital age. Recently, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts redesigned their official website, Mass.gov, using the Percussion CM System.
Before I begin, let me confess that I don't know much about Percussion Software beyond what I read in their press releases. In fact, you'll find that some of the information here came straight out of one of their press releases and you'll want to continue your research beyond what you read here. However, personal experience has shown me that any redesign work done with government websites is hard work with my hurdles to cross. So after I took a look at the Mass.gov site, it didn't take much arm twisting from Percussion's marketing people to go beyond my comfort level and talk about a product I really should know a whole lot more about.
