“Fragmenting our content across different “device-optimized” experiences is a losing proposition, or at least an unsustainable one.

—Ethan Marcotte Responsive Web Design

“You can’t afford to create a piece of content for any one platform. Instead of crafting a website, you have to put more effort into crafting the description of the different bits of an asset, so they can be reused more effectively, so they can deliver more value.

—Nic Newman, BBCNimble Report, http://nimble.razorfish.com

We’re about to usher in a golden age of PDFs on the iPad.

Paul Ford, @ftrain

“Existing art and production staffers from the print side would be responsible for making two iPad layouts (one in portrait and one in landscape) on Adobe’s platform.

“WE WANT IT TO BE THE EIGHTIES GODDAMMIT.”

“Over the last year, NPR’s total page view growth has increased by more than 80%. How did we get that much growth? Our API.

—Zach Brand, Senior Director Technology, NPR

“The biggest impact that the API has made, however, is with our mobile strategy. The API has enabled NPR product owners to build specialized apps on a wide range of platforms and devices, liberating them from being dependent on custom development to access the content. Through this process, we built our iPhone and iPad apps, mobile sites, Android app and HTML5 site, some of which were turned around in a matter of weeks!

“Traditional publishing and content management systems bind content to display and delivery mechanisms, which forces a recycling approach for multi-platform publishing.

—Dan Willis

http://dswillis.com/uxcrank/?p=378

“A semantic content publishing system creates well-defined chunks of content that can be combined in whatever way is most appropriate for a particular platform. All display issues are addressed by delivery applications, rather than by a content management system earlier in the process.

BETTER CMS WORKFLOW

Content admins hate all the fields.But the reason they hate all the fields

is the workflow is bad.

CMS IS THE ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE THAT UX FORGOT

“Beautiful software, even for back-end users, is becoming an expectation.We’re moving in this direction because we now understand that better content management systems foster better content.

USE MOBILE AS A WEDGE.

The more structure you put into content the freer it will become.

Rachel Lovinger, @rlovinger

SEPARATION OF CONTENT FROM DISPLAY.(FOR REAL THIS TIME.)

The future of content management systems is in their ability to capture the content in a

clean, presentation-independent way.

DESIGN WITH AND FORSTRUCTURED CONTENT.

I’ve never seen anyone regret having flexibility in how they deploy content.
