Blogging Roller

Phil Windley: Traction positions teampage as a "time-ordered journal" as opposed to a "personal podium." This is really just marketing to position themselves "above" the blogging world as a "serious piece of enterprise IT software." The thing walks like a blog, talks like a blog and looks like a blog.

But Phil goes on to explain that Traction TeamPage is not just run-of-the-mill blog software putting on airs. Traction is "system for using multiple blogs in concert" that gives users the ability to create custom newsfeeds, filtered by metadata such as category and keyword, and to combine newsfeeds, also based on metadata, to create aggregated team blogs and dashboard blogs (see also my Development dashblog post).
