Macworld Review of Blogs -- GL Recommended

Authored by: thewise1himself on Monday, June 09 2003 @ 02:00 pm EDT

Nope, none of the 'Nukes were reviewed; couldn't say why...

As for rankings, I forget the exact pairings, but they recommended Geeklog as 1 of 2 systems for "building a thriving online community". pMachine was recommended as 1 of 2 for more business-oriented CMS needs. It seemed to me those were the 2 "audiences" they considered, though I don't have the magazine in front of me at the moment to confirm.

I do remember some of the specific "features" they evaluated, and I'd have to say the top 3 that I could easily see others cite as shortcomings of GL (compared to some of the other systems and based upon feedback reported here at geeklog.net) would be:

thorough, easy-to-read / use documentation / user manual (GL was specifically mentioned as having "less than stellar" documentation compared to pMachine)
desktop application for posting content
easy to set up / install (pMachine got raves for having an easy "Setup Wizard")

Please note, these aren't my gripes, so please don't flame me.. I'm just reporting on what I read. ;)
