Blogging platforms

Anyone heard of the blogging platform iUpload? I hadn’t heard about it myself until I read this preview to Forrester’s paper titled “The Forrester Wave: Blogging Platforms, Q2 2006″ published in June 2006.

Forrester evaluated leading blogging platforms across 54 criteria and found that iUpload leads the market with its robust blogging capabilities and its strong strategic vision of a blog as a lightweight content management system (CMS), a collaboration and knowledge management tool, and even as a foundation to form communities of customers. When choosing between a full-featured suite like iUpload’s Customer Conversation System or strong blogging-focused solutions like Movable Type and WordPress, companies should have a well-developed vision of how blogging will be used within the enterprise and then select a vendor that shares that vision.

Forrester conducted in-depth evaluations of nine blogging platforms: Drupal, iUpload’s Customer Conversation System, Roller, Six Apart’s Movable Type and TypePad, Telligent Systems’ Community Server, Traction Software’s TeamPage, UserLand Software’s Manila, and WordPress. To further enhance our analysis, we conducted client reference interviews with 30 user companies, including 3M, CNET Networks, General Motors, IBM, In-Q-Tel, McDonald’s, Oracle, SAP, Time, Wells Fargo, and Ziff Davis Media.
