paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...

The Rivet Logic Blogs

Looking back on 2008, we’ve seen several trends in the web space. The web has transformed from a place to look for information to a place to share information. Social networking tools and applications exploded, with the release of the Facebook Platform and Google’s OpenSocial. Enterprises also saw an increase in the adoption of collaboration and social networking tools such as blogs, wikis, and LinkedIn. Mobile web usage became increasing mainstream with Apple’s iPhone 3G and Google’s Android. Open source software gained popularity as the economy took a downturn.

So what’s in store for 2009? Here are just a few things to watch out for in the coming year…

Semantic web - what good is information if it can’t be organized? contextual web utilizing semantic technologies will be huge
Web 2.x - in preparation for Web 3.0, the new wave of “intelligent web”, we will see an increased adoption of technologies such as semantic web, OpenID, and SaaS to name a few
Cloud computing - will cloud computing gain enough momentum to be the next big thing?
Facebook domination continues
Open source continues to gain popularity within the enterprise
Friend synchronization tools - to help ease the information overload from the social media revolution.

I got here because of the mention of Semantic Web and was hoping to find some examples of the services and companies to look for since this is my space (we are a semantic web firefox addon fresh out of the box and on the cusp of going public) Not a word about micro-blogging...No mention of mobile apps...
