Notice something different?

KristaThomas | January 14, 2009

We have been working with Phase2 Technology to make significant improvements to OpenCalais.com, and there is much more to come.

First, we have made fundamental changes to our underlying Drupal architecture to make the site, and the API registration process in particular, easier to navigate.

We have also added a new 'Social Media Newsroom' using a template from Todd Defren of SHIFT Communications. In addition to adding images, videos and podcasts, we have made it easier to find and share Calais news, relevant blog posts, developer events and the conferences where you can meet the Calais team as well as fellow Calais developers.

Next up, we will be making improvements to the community section - including clearer, more user-friendly documentation - and redesigning the gallery / showcase section to make it easier for you to share your ideas and show off your creativity and innovative work.

Take a look around and let us know your thoughts!  By all means, if you see something that needs work, or want to share an idea, we are all ears.

Thinking back to my

Thinking back to my corporate past, many of the things that are in your template are the very things I always wanted to have in my news section but could never get because the web development team didn’t have time to do them, and there was also a burden in keeping things up.

 

The new format press release is still very much a work in progress, and many firms, for many reasons, just aren’t ready. But with the new Web 2.0 technologies, there’s no reason to not add some (not necessarily all) of the new stuff to your newsroom. This template is a great starting point, especially for smaller companies who don’t have big web development teams.
