Two Stack CMS approach describes a custom-built website creation solution designed by developers to be modern and full featured #rollYourOwnWCMS via @ThoughtWorks

Two Stack CMS approach describes a custom-built website creation solution designed by developers to be modern and full featured #rollYourOwnWCMS via @ThoughtWorks | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

We applied the editing-publishing separation
pattern in building a two-stack CMS to support a global
readership while supporting complex coordination of legacy
editing tools. 

When content volume is low and only few trained people are responsible for content creation and maintenance, any added complexity of a two stack CMS isn't worthwhile. Such complexity makes it harder for content creators to learn how to use it and adds significant effort in system maintenance. (Although this may be mitigated by tools that are designed to work in this style.)

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: choosing a web content management solution is a pain in the neck. This approach does away with that altogether and builds its own versions. Very useful to understand the limitations of commercial CMS solutions.

Why #AdBlockers May be as Bad as the #Ads they are blocking: they need to make $$ using ads+tracking

Why #AdBlockers May be as Bad as the #Ads they are blocking: they need to make $$ using ads+tracking | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
For publishers and advertisers, Internet ad blockers are a scourge. But the blockers also have to pay the bills.
Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Surveillance is part of the web browsing experience mostly due to ads and social beacons. Trying to block them off not only degrades the user experience but may not provide the expected benefits as it may provide a different type of surveillance. Ad blocking does not appear to be the solution after all. So what can provide more privacy when surfing the web? The question remains open.

Jean-Marie Grange's comment, December 20, 2016 1:12 PM
Maybe one solution would be for content publishers to offer the choice of paying a fair amount for ad-free content... http://sco.lt/7CrAVl

How Google's Autocomplete Was Created / Invented / Born and why it is so useful via@theatlantic | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
The origin of the service that taps into humanity's collective psyche
Farid Mheir's insight:

A very good review of Google's invention that taps into the large database of information it collects about searches and makes it available to all of us to save time.


I use Google autocomplete for other purpose than to simply save time. I use it for product research, trend analysis, and sometimes competitive analysis. I use it as inspiration and sometimes for guidance, when I am not sure exactly what to search for. An invaluable tool.
