CRM Blog: The Oracle saga gets more interesting…

Oracle said a month ago that they were willing to work with IBM to continue support for the Siebel OnDemand product, which is Websphere/DB2 based. As if it’s a surprise to anyone, they came out this week and said “nah, we’re not interested in that after all, we’re moving it to an Oracle infrastructure in [...]

New Version of NetNewsWire RSS Client

I have been on a full Macintosh diet the last couple of days, haven't used my Windows laptop once. One of the things that I really missed about Windows was my FeedDemon RSS client. Ross pointed me to NetNewsWire, and while it's a great reader it still lacked the syncing capabilities that FeedDemon has with [...]

America the inferior

I don't find myself disagreeing with Umair very often, but this whopper of a post is so skewed with generalizations and stereotypes that I am left speechless. But then again, I am just a dumb American lacking in culture, style, and a charming foreign accent.  At heart, that's the source of Europe's genius: it is, [...]

I don’t understand how Memeorandum works

If you look at this snapshot of Memeorandum today, the "lead item" is Matt's piece about Podtech raising a round of venture capital.
