interesting links of a related nature: CollegeClub isn't in that list, but it is in the laundry list of dot coms laying off employees. I get a kick out of how they say "Cutting costs to reach profitability more quickly." Ah, remember the good old days when CollegeClub.com was poised to take over the world and the mighty Jim DeBello resisted the populist movement called "Draft Jim DeBello for President '00" just so he could be a second-fiddle Grand Pooh Bah in the enterprise.(those last two links contributed by Fandango Matt.)
The problem with generic content management systems - this would have been a good piece for the Schoolmarmish VP of IT to read back when she was advocating that CollegeClub.com convert to Vignette's dubious Storyserver "solution." "We're not a software company" was one of the things she used to say at the slightest provocation. This was one of several businesslike phrases she used to haphazardly string together using corporate buzzwords for punctuation, filler, and superglue. Yes, that lady sure was a hoot. She also insinuated that I was a racist on the day she fired me. Remember that old screen saver with the flying toasters? I wonder: does the schoolmarmish VP of IT ever dream of malevolent flying speakerphones?
