Social Media Attention on Work.com: Open Source CMS

We asked for Work.com guides about the hot topic of open source content management systems (CMS), and Byon Ong of eDLink Services responded by writing Using Open Source CMS Solutions to Manage Your Website. Thanks Byon for reading your Work.com member email all the way to the bottom!

Scott Allen, the Work.com Sales & Marketing community leader, commented on Byon's guide, adding the great resource OpenSourceCMS.com…then OpenSourceCMS.com posted Guide to Using Open Source CMS Solutions to Manage Your Website, which summarizes and links back to Byon’s guide.

And…OpenSourceCMS has a Technorati authority of 536, which is pretty good, meaning lots of people link to it - great exposure for Byon!

We'll continue to ask for guides about hot business topics that will help Work.com readers and get their authors social media attention at the same time -  raise your hand if you'd like to write a guide to Facebook Apps for Business!
