PaperThin, Inc., a leading Web publishing and content management software vendor  announced that KMWorld has named CommonSpot 4.6 to its listing of "Trend-Setting Products of 2006". The complete list is featured in the September issue of KMWorld magazine and online at www.kmworld.com.

"Assembling the list of Trend-Setting Products of 2006 is a year-long collaborative effort with editorial colleagues and analysts and, especially, users," says Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief. "Roughly 1,500 products from over 300 vendors were considered. In previous years, CommonSpot has earned our recognition as a technology trend-setter because of its exemplary innovation and the value that it provides. CommonSpot 4.6 is no exception. We were impressed with the product's taxonomy classification and navigation capabilities, ease of use, and polished architecture and design."

CommonSpot 4.6 is the first and only content management solution of its kind to deliver taxonomy classification and navigation capabilities. With this latest release, organizations can now easily build and manage a taxonomy, classify content to the terms in a taxonomy, and intuitively navigate and browse through a taxonomy. This functionality enables organizations to leverage and extend their Web content for increased value, an improved information discovery process, and an enhanced visitor experience.

"We continually strive to provide practical, yet innovative ways to address the needs of our customers and the market," said Todd Peters, president of PaperThin. "The taxonomy classification and navigation capabilities introduced in CommonSpot 4.6 are the result of customer-driven demand as well as a growing need in the mid-market for this functionality. We're pleased that the KMWorld community has acknowledged our efforts yet again."
