- bigbuppo 1y agoI know in the late 90s, early 2000s they were Vignette shop, back when it was a Tcl application. Can only imagine their relief getting to carry over their tcl knowledge while no longer having to suffer with Vignette. I don't think I've ever heard anyone that actually liked Vignette.
- jhayward 1y agoI don't recall any groups using Vignette at AOL during that time. It may be that one of the acquisitions used it prior to being acquired, but again, I never heard about it.
- bigbuppo 1y agoCNN.com was definitely using the StoryBuilder part up until the 2005 redesign as it's noted in the source of each and every article, and there were some tell-tale droppings on the home page as well.
