Indeed.com job comparison: Oracle WebCenter, IBM WebSphere, MS Sharepoint, Liferay, Drupal, and Jive

Lately I've been investigating different platforms in the portal market.
Today I took a look at how the products stack up from a different angle - job trends from indeed.com

The results shouldn't come as a big surprise:

• Sharepoint is growing like a weed
• IBM WebSphere keeps on trucking
• Drupal, Liferay, Oracle WebCenter and Jive have seen great progress since 2006
• Oracle WebCenter's results might be a little skewed since only recently have they brought most of their portal related products under the same umbrella. There are still plenty of jobs posted under old product names such as ALUI, Plumtree, UMC, Stellant, Fatwire, etc. IMHO to compete with the branding power of IBM they should also bring WebLogic server under the umbrella.

What is interesting is that in the last 6 months it seems that most of the companies have seen a dip in hiring.
