"What is Content Management?

My definition is...

Content Management is the management of content."

-Tony Byrne, What is Content Management, Real Story Group, February 24, 2010

As strange as this sounds, one of the biggest debates among CMS gurus is over the very definitions of content management and content management system. I have always preferred utilizing the simple but precise definitions for the terms we use. "Real life" tends to complicate everything we do and starting simple is sometimes the only edge you have when facing increasing complexity. This is why I think the best definition for content management out there comes from Tony Byrne.
