- In contrast to the jobs comparison the Sharepoint trend is mundane. I wonder what is with the big downward spikes at the end of each year?
- 2004 was the glory days for WebSphere? Seems that each chart shows WebSphere to be sinking.
- Drupal and Liferay look solid
- The charts for Oracle WebCenter and Jive are a bit spastic. I'm guessing they have lighter volume which contributes to volatility.
