I believe this is one of the reasons SharePoint\u00c2\u00a02010 included so many changes and why it is not really backward compatible. This means that the SharePoint\u00c2\u00a02010 as a blogging tool is a different beast from earlier SharePoint\u00c2\u00a0blogging tools and is therefore not well-tested\u00c2\u00a0or maybe I should say not well assessed in the market. As of now, in any straight across comparison of WordPress and SharePoint\u00c2\u00a0blog tools, WordPress is going to win. It is designed and supported as a blogging tool. It has a stronger developer base and larger user base. SharePoint\u00c2\u00a0is a multipurpose collaboration suite with blogging as a tangential feature. For basic features such as creating and publishing a post they are very comparable. For simple posting of text to an intranet site, SharePoint\u00c2\u00a0seems to work fine. If one wants a sophisticated public presence, WordPress has the features now\u00c2\u00a0to allow one to build that presence. <a title=\"Microsoft SharePoint\" rel=\"homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/sharepoint.microsoft.com\/en-us\/Pages\/default.aspx\">SharePoint<\/a> 2010 is so new that additional tools and add-ons aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t yet available in a way that compares with WordPress. WordPress however wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t designed to work with enterprise connectivity such as <a title=\"Active Directory\" rel=\"wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Active_Directory\">Active Directory<\/a>. It is meant as an outward\u00c2\u00a0facing tool. I understand that there maybe add-ons to allow network authentication and authorization. I am not familiar with how well they work. SharePoint\u00c2\u00a0on the other hand was designed with network security in mind. This is what I see as the reason to use SharePoint rather than WordPress for intranet information posting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of 2009 the consensus was that SharePoint\u00c2\u00a0was a half-baked\u00c2\u00a0blogging tool and if you wanted to blog use WordPress.
