I recently added Frog CMS and Socialtext to CMS Report's CMS Focus page.  CMS Focus is a list of the top 30 Web applications that represent what I feel are the Web applications of today and tomorrow.  In a world where niche CMS news sites try to cover it all for their readers (more power to them), I feel one of the strengths of CMSReport.com is limiting our focus on a certain number of CMS.  The CMS on this list are applications I recommend site owners first look at before moving into the deep waters of content management and social software.

As I mentioned late last year, my latest obsession is the implementation and use of CMS and social software in the enterprise.  For many organizations it can be more challenging to implement content management and collaboration solutions on their own Intranet than it is for the Web.  Wanting to continue expanding our topics on Enterprise 2.0 is why I've put Socialtext on the list.  Frankly, I'm learning about Socialtext just as much as everyone.  Instead of putting Socialtext into CMS Focus, I did consider Opentext and even Ektron.  Socialtext made the list because they seemed to be more transparent with news about their product.  My advice to companies and their Web sites...keep those RRS feeds updated and accessible.

Frog CMS (originally called phpRadiant) is a promising CMS whose developers liked what they saw in the Ruby based Radiant CMS, but preferred to develop their version using PHP.  We've been watching Frog CMS grow up for some time now and are glad to finally recommend you take a look at this CMS.

Introducing Frog CMS and SocialText also prompted us to retire osCommerce and Geeklog into CMS Report's Hall of Fame.  These two applications have been in our CMS Focus since 2006 but these days the light is shining brighter on Magento and Wordpress.  We will however keep an eye on osCommerce and if their 3.0 version surprises us, osCommerce could always come back into our focus.
