A primary objective of work in designing and deploying websites is to enable
an evolved online user experience, for human users of the website. For many
websites and their owners, the core website is also a source of information,
marketing messages and social dialogue that lives elsewhere. "Elsewhere" can
mean any Internet-enabled channel, from social media like Facebook, Google+
and Twitter, to Search Engines, RSS feed networks, Directories, eCommerce
platforms, Mobile Apps and content syndication engines.
In short, a website deployment should, as standard practice, assume the web
content to be mobile and accessible (in part or in whole) from many other
places – and therefore should be as accurate, optimized and standards-based
as possible. A website should not only be a destination, but a source of
content fragments and descriptors that "carry the flag" around the I... (more)

In considering the possible types of information that might need to included

“Information” that are already known (at some level) to be
“required”, “useful”, or “possibly interesting” – judged as so
by existing processes, policies, roles, business rules and perhaps
knowledgebase ontologies.... (more)
Experimenting a bit with Pipes, Twitter, RSS feeds to LinkedIn, etc....follow
a nicely "curated" Internet Media collection of Homeland Security/DHS
information and tweeting at @dhsinfosharing
- and find it under news in the similarly-named Homeland Security Information

All well-known systems engineering methodologies and enterprise system
development programs leverage testing environments. Testing environments can
be built and operated for very different purposes, ranging from prototyping
and simulation, to pre-production load testing and usability or “Section
508 Accessibility” checks. Specialized SOA testing frameworks are sometimes
required, for difficult infrastructure integration challenges. Most major
systems that get deployed to large numbers of users also feature a training
environment. This working copy of the “re... (more)
