Drupal Themed is news and content submitted by you the Drupal community user. It works just like the popular site Digg.com. If you have a new theme, plugin or just want to show off your Drupal powered website this is the place to do it. Why Drupal-Themed? Well, there really isn't any place one can submit Drupal news and get noticed, besides forums etc. so we decided to launch a site that would be a centralized place to post news regarding Drupal and the entites surrounding it.

Yesterday, I talked about CMS Report's five most read articles that were published in 2007. Today, let's talk about seven of our articles that remained at the bottom of the dog pile. Listed below are Seven Great CMS Report Articles that you few people read.

1. A review of ReviewBasics
2. Introducing Facebook to the Boss
3. United States students continue to fall behind in IT education
4. Saying Goodbye to Old Media
5. Thunderbird 2.0
6. Virtually impressed with Microsoft
7. Getting more work done through less innovation

Most of the articles listed above were read less than 1000 times. Yet, in my opinion, the articles are some of the better articles I wrote in 2007. Hey, some of the stories even have pictures (something I rarely do on my site). Perhaps you could make it one of your 2008 New Years resolutions to read the articles?

What a great year we had at CMS Report! In 2007, we posted over 800 articles. Below are the five most read articles that I posted in 2007. Interestingly, three of the top five stories have little to do with content management systems.

1. The New Workforce: Generation Next (Generation Y) in your Organization
2. I have lost my Wow
3. IE7 update available for Vista while Windows XP users wait
4. Drupal on a Budget
5. Comparing Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal

For those that are curious, the most read article of all time at CMS Report is a comparison I did between Drupal and Joomla. I posted that article in late 2006 and it has been read 35,920 times (thank you Google).

My thanks to all those who continue to return to this site to read the stories, join in on the conversation, and even submit articles. I'm not sure I would be doing this if it wasn't for the interest shown by others visiting the site.

"Msnbc.com hopes to engage more people and advertisers by adding Newsvine to its fold of brands, and including more interactive features, richer content and a fuller spectrum of news, the company said Sunday."

"The Internet is a threat to traditional news organizations, which no longer have the advantage of being the first to report breaking news online, according to a Harvard University study released yesterday."

This post you are reading has been saved unpublished for a few days as I have feared it reads too much as a rant.  In this post, I'd like to discuss the difference between good and bad competition when it comes to similar "news sites" such as my own CMS Report.   I also want to touch on about how smack in the middle a CMS such as Drupal and Joomla brings both the good and the ugly online.  Unfortunately as with all technology, the modern CMS not only has been a blessing to sites dishing news for their writers and their users...but also a curse. 

"Apple's stock took a tumble when popular tech blog Engadget posted a supposed "internal memo" indicating a significant delay in the releases of the much-anticipated iPhone handheld device and the Leopard operating system. The memo was a fake; Engadget had been fooled."
