More on CMS Tools

Choosing an effective content management system is an essential part of creating an information ecosystem for your project / organization. My last post introduced a few CMS Tools that you could choose from and today's posts talks about a service that you could use to get started in the right direction.



CMS Matrix is one of the services i use pretty often when it comes to comparing content management systems. While this is definitely not the only checklist you need to use when selecting an application, it does help in giving you an overall picture of applications out there. While the information is more at a features level it does have one of the largest list of CMS applications i have seen on an free site.



However unlike CMS Watch the information here isn't as detailed as you might like it to be, considering its a free service i wasn’t expecting all that much to begin with anyway.



It does allow for members to help with maintaining an updated list of information on the various applications currently hosted on the website.
