Editorial Content Management

You've heard of Web Content Management, which has to do with tools and processes to manage the creation, approval and publishing of Web content, now Id like to introduce a new term for an old problem: Editorial Content Management. This has to do with managing the quality of the Web content as it goes through its life cycle. Once content is published, its often left to its own demise. I'm arguing that Web managers need to create processes to ensure that editors and writers are focusing their time on managing the content life cycle very efficiently. WCM tools have some features that provide some editorial management capabilities, but there are few of them.

I generally do not plug my own stuff, but we've just launched "WebRadar", a portlet for IBM Websphere that provides Web teams with the tools necessary to manage their Web content and their Web project. Let us know what you think: http://www.wpaconsulting.com/webradar
