The Frankfurt Book Fair is a popular global book extravaganza that not only sells books, but also serves as a cultural interchange across national borders. This year, while bookworming their way around the aisles, the organizers conducted a survey designed to figure out if the digitization has begun to influence the publishing industry, as well as who might be the driving force behind it. Over 1,000 industry professionals from over 30 countries responded to the survey.

Gartner analyst Adam Sarner has new research that states that 50% of all Social Media campaigns will fail. Didn't we hear something similar to this before when a study by Deloitte informed us that social networking was a waste of money? What is the real story here -- are marketing departments trying to fit social media into a traditional marketing bucket or is social media marketing just a lot of hype?

Not as Web-savvy as you’d like to be? Well, GoDaddy just solved that problem with the release of SmartSpace -- an inexpensive, no-skills-needed tool for building instant Web sites complete with your popular social media widgets of choice.

In these times of economic upheaval, many businesses -- large and small -- start to take an even closer look at how they are spending their IT budgets. For those who have or are considering SaaS-based solutions, you should know there are opposing views on whether SaaS has what it takes to survive in the long term.

CaseCentral, an eDiscovery software provider, who was recently selected as KMWorld Magazine's 2008 Trendsetter, has announced the release of its third version of the CaseCentral eDiscovery review platform -- the first multi-case, multi-party eDiscovery review platform with process analytics.

Microsoft released Silverlight 2, a new version of its solution for creation and delivery of Rich Internet Applications (RIA's) through a Web browser.

According to a document management study that was commissioned by Iron Mountain, UK firms are more likely to trust others with the task of records management than German and French firms. Interestingly, most firms decide to keep active records stored on-site. Is our information safe?

Well, one analyst believes so. Those involved with the Web 2.0 industry are in trouble, according to Oliver Young, a Forrester Research analyst. He believes that the supply of Web 2.0 service applications is becoming too great, and that prices will decline as a result. As if that didn't sound bad enough, pricing is one of the few aspects left to compete with.

Zoho, a Web-hosted Microsoft Office and Google competitor, has announced offline support for their Zoho Mail product. Zoho Mail joins Zoho Writer -- the company's word processing product -- in using (ironically enough) Google Gears for offline support and access. By comparison, Google has yet to implement any type of offline access to their Web-hosted email product, Gmail. Zoho, in choosing to utilize Google's own offline-enabling engine, beat the search giant to the punch in an effort to remain competitive in the space.

Touted as the “easiest Web site creation tool ever made,” Zimplit is a new open source Micro CMS released by an Estonian startup under the same name. It was made for “normal people, not for IT gurus.” And here’s the sales pitch: “Unlike other CMS applications that require advanced technical skills, Zimplit enables you to create professional Web sites, without being a Web developer or hiring one.”

Palo Alto Software Inc., an Oregon-based company best known for their business plan software, released their first Software-as-a-Service product in hopes to solve all the world’s email bottlenecking troubles for cheap.

Yahoo!, the struggling Internet giant, has managed to complete its latest product: Yahoo! Web Analytics. While the name is uninspiring, the product actually looks like it has some potential. If anything, it has a sexy look and feel to it. With this being a "controlled access launch," not everyone interested in trying the new product will be able to do so. Hence, Google Analytics doesn't have to worry. At least not yet.
