Update: Twitter announced today at its Chirp Developer Conference that it has 100,000 registered apps. Original Article: Since its inception, one of the biggest knocks against Twitter has been that it's been hard to figure out what to use it for. As time has gone by, this has become much more clear to a great many people, but you can rest assured, there are still plenty out there who have a hard time justifying its use. Others, particularly in the business world feel like they need to be using it, but still have a hard time finding ways in which it can be most effective and beneficial to their specific needs. What Twitter apps make Twitter more useful to you? Tell us here. Twitter's usefulness more often than not, becomes much more apparent when you find that app that frames it in a way that makes sense to your life or your business (or both). There are at least 10,000 Ways to Use Twitter.OneForty is a directory of Twitter apps, that's been around since last year, when we first discussed it with founder Laura Fitton. Last month at SXSW in Austin, we dropped by Fitton's party (which featured some fantastic beer, I must say) and talked with her about the site, and the vast array of Twitter tools that are constantly being developed.
Love this post! Twitter-bashers, beware!

There is no best web content management system. But there is probably a good Web CMS for what you’re trying to do. With that, we kicked-off a heated debate on Inconvenient truths and unsolved WCM industry challenges at the J.Boye 2009 conference in chilly Aarhus, DK.
via www.cmswire.com
Great summary of notes from CMS Wire for the "Inconvenient truths and unsolved WCM industry challenges" session from the J. Boye 2009 conference. I love the fact that user experience improvements are noted as a must-have requirement for the web content management (WCM) industry, particularly open source tools.
I'm also glad to see the recognition that matrices and Excel charts should not be used to compare and analyze WCM tools during the selection process. See our blog post about this topic, "Why You Don't Need a Detailed CMS Comparison Chart."
What are your thoughts on what's working and what's not in WCM today?
