| 1. | It was a record week for new stuff shipping. We released the first WAP/WML support in a web content management system. WAP is the subset of HTTP that's supported by wireless cellphones that double as web browsers, and WML is the subset of XML that those cellphones display. It was easy for us, with a deep foundation of XML object database technology and content management, and a user base that's into experimentation. |
| 2. | We also released a new product called Manila Express that further streamlines the editorial process for busy webwriters. And we rolled out a search engine this afternoon, one that's open in ways no search engine has ever been. With 2700 sites of managed content to index, we're not going to have to play chicken and egg this time around. It's almost guaranteed to gain momentum. Just hours after rolling out, fifty sites are being indexed. And it's an open system, open to any compatible CMS, no crawlers needed; the CMS pushes the changes to the server in real-time and indexing happens once a day. |
| 3. | You can catch the technological news in the usual place, www.scripting.com. If you go there, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. But that's not why I'm writing this evening. |
