The new Web site for Communications of the ACM (CACM) was named one of 10 Great Media Web Sites and won the award for best new site by Media Business. The new CACM site debuted in May and provides daily news, the current magazine issue, an expert blog, a Careers section, a searchable digital library, and CACM’s complete 50-year archive. The Web site’s daily news is provided by ACM technical and staff writers as well as various news feeds. “Our goal is to ensure that the content enables readers and browsers alike to gain essential insights into industry information that are invaluable for their professional development,” says CACM editor-in-chief Moshe Vardi in a statement released by ACM. The Web site has been very successful, says Scott Delman, group publisher of the ACM Media Group. “The Communications Web site has triggered dynamic dialogues within the computing community as a trusted resource for computing professionals worldwide that goes beyond the print edition,” he says. The Web site enables users to comment on news items or share them with others using more than 60 social media services. “Having the ability for people to interact online on a real-time basis was very important,” Delman says. Future plans for the site include building out its multimedia capabilities. “There is video very deep within some of the sections, but it’s in our plans to put video on the front page,” he says.
