We’re ecstatic about the great feedback that we’ve received on our launch of CMS Tube, and we’re really excited that people are adopting it. We’ve gotten coverage in CMS Watch and CMS Wire, and the coverage has been largely positive. Theresa Regli of CMS Watch understands exactly what we’re trying to convey: “The idea is to help current and prospective customers learn more about the product via demos, training and education, with commentary and discussions with other users as well.” And Angela Natividad of CMS Wire writes, “Hannon Hill demonstrates the strength of its convictions with the unveiling of CMS Tube.”
In addition to the positive feedback, both articles address the fact that, while it is a video enabled website, we don’t have much in the way of community driven content yet. We’re glad that this was brought up because it’s one of the things that we are working on as part of our Cascade Server framework. We currently have our CAST (Cascade Advanced Server Toolkit) components to make user-generated content possible. Because CMS Tube has been such a success so far, we are in the process of redesigning it and incorporating our CAST components into it so that people can rate the videos, add comments, etc. We want to take it from being a video-driven website to a true Web 2.0 site.
In the mean time, check out CAST and CMS Tube to learn more about content management and Cascade Server!
