Drupal vs. Joomla: a frank comparison from an IBM consultant | Drupal Themes by TopNotchThemes: "

• Use Joomla if you want to get nice looking site up quickly and can deal with a slower system, rigid content categorization and limited design/configuration options.


• Use Drupal if you want high performance, scalability, good content management and significant design flexibility. But, be prepared to spend a lot of time/money to get the site to look professional."

Drupal has a module to integrate with MailChimp email marketing provider and Lullabot.com has stated using it. MailChimp features look quite good, but I still wonder how they decided to go with it when there are much bigger players on the market? & Here is one useful page on MailChimp website: How Spam Filters Think (and how to avoid them) | MailChimp.com - "How can you tell if your campaign ended up in recipients' junk folders? For starters, look at your open rate. If it suddenly dropped from your average, you probably have a spam filter problem. If you're new to email marketing, 20-30% is a rough open rate average. An abnormally high bounce rate is another indicator. Look through your hard bounces, and read the SMTP replies. Spam filters sometimes leave little clues about why they blocked your campaign (See: How to read your bounceback headers from our knowledge base). Most established email marketing services (like MailChimp) have been accepted into feedback loops with ISPs like AOL, Netzero, MSN, Hotmail, and more (See: "Getting in the Feedback Loop at Clickz.com"). Whenever a recipient on their network reports an email as spam, an alert is sent to the sending server. MailChimp receives those alerts and stores them under your account, so you'll know how many people reported your campaign as spam"

How to Get Your Mail Past the Inbox Bouncers - ClickZ: "Once the ISP verifies your identification through authentication, it applies what it knows about your sender reputation (mainly, how many spam complaints your e-mail generates) to determine whether to send your e-mail to the bulk folder, the inbox, or the virtual wastebasket. Unauthenticated e-mail is more likely to be rejected or sent to a bulk folder. All senders should use multiple authentication protocols, because ISPs use different protocols, including SPF, Sender ID, DomainKeys, and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). Authenticating your e-mail several different ways means your message is more likely to get recognized no matter which protocol the receiving ISP uses."

Drupal to Wordpress: The Good, The Bad and the Exploited | CenterNetworks: "The admin panel has been one of my biggest frustrations with Drupal. The Drupal admin feels like it was developed by a developer while the Wordpress admin feels like it was developed by an end-user. With thousands of posts, it was just difficult to manage. We have a variety of excellent contributors and I’d love to be able to let them post their own stories but never was able to get it working in Drupal. Actually I could have easily created an account for each contributor but the usability was at a point that I feared that their stories might never get posted correctly. The other two major factors that influenced my decision were that the admin can handle timed postings and auto-save. I can’t tell you how many posts I’ve lost over the last two years because I accidentally clicked something and lost the entire post" & What’s An Exploit Worth To Your Google Traffic? | HTMLCenter Web Development Blog: "Earlier this month CenterNetworks was converted from Drupal to Wordpress.

Structured data is the new search engine optimization | Dries Buytaert: "Two days ago, Google announced "Rich Snippets", a move that is sure to shake up the SEO industry, and cause hundreds of thousands of people to reconsider their skepticism of the semantic web... Initially, Google's adoption of RDFa will disrupt the current approaches to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). With Google entering the RDFa game, the words 'semantic markup' will get redefined. Every webmaster wanting to improve click-through rates, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversation rates, can no longer ignore RDFa or Microformats. Structured data is the new SEO."
