Why to choose MOSS 2007 as CMS

I think that when MOSS is chosen as CMS, there should be a vision as well related to that choice. Will it be part of the infrastructure? What about integration with intranet and extranet environments. Do you want a single sign on environment for both enterprise and web content? I think that if the web presence is one of the elements in that vision, you always have to do concessions, and in many cases MOSS is the most complete choice to make.

twitter: like seeing a bit of an avatar’s elbow

That’s the thing about Twitter — if you analogize your online identity — it’s like the rise of the word “toon” which I think came from The Realm — at this point tossing something out on Twitter is like seeing a bit of an avatar’s elbow. It’s not a complete picture.
