Drupal: The Next King of CMS?
WebProNews – Dec 26, 2007
My problem as a webmaster is that while Wordpress suits blogs and small sites fine it simply isn’t geared to community participation – featured author and commentator profile pages are not a default part of the set-up plus Wordpress has never really integrated community forums. The result is that for my larger sites I often end up with one or more Wordpress installs at the front-end with a vbulletin community in the centre. The result is a disconnection between the Wordpress content and the community members with myself having to link to the community to continue discussion or else face having my vbulletin members sign-up for the Wordpress install to comment. The disconnection is a serious flaw in my publishing strategy but looking at Drupal I can see this bridge is gapped by default. Maybe Wordpress will look to address that in future but my feeling is Matt Mullenweg has decided that Wordpress’s strength is as a blogging tool and remain focus on that rather than introduce potential weaknesses and accusations of code bloat… My problem as a webmaster is that while Wordpress suits blogs and small sites fine it simply isn’t geared to community participation – featured author and commentator profile pages are not a default part of the set-up plus Wordpress has never really integrated community forums.

This reason alone has all but sold me on Flock. WordPress-based blogs Blogger whatever – one way or the other Flock will allow you to publish to as many blogs as you like all from within one integrated UI. – The Best RSS Management I Have Ever Seen.
