Decision Matrix: Blog-Systems

admin — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 07:35:53 +0000

Here is an example of a decision matrix. It allows a customized answer to the question: which Blog-System should I use? You see the different options that I considered in the header of the table (Wordpress vs. Blogger) and the criteria in the first left column. The decision matrix was created via Dezidr.com, which allows to embed it into any web-page.

Integration with Facebook

Dezidr has got a little sister. Her name is Somsimil and she is safely embedded in the Facebook platform. If you are a Facebook user, you might want to have a look at her here.

Somsimil allows you to ask your friends for alternatives to something you already know and the relevant criteria to pay attention to. Like its older brother, it wants to help you to make better decisions. Have fun!
