Commercialization of wikis

Check out this shopping/search site and associated buying guide wikis. Pretty cool.

UPDATE: I was remiss in not pointing out that Amazon has had product wikis for some time, along with a search function. It appears that they have not had a lot of uptake with this, and the most edited wikis are attached to books, which surprises me.

Project Mendocino

Here’s a link courtesy of SAP blogger Eran Kampf in Israel, he points to a joint site between SAP and Microsoft focused on a new product we’ve been working on called Mendocino. There will no doubt be lot’s of news and information about this at SAPPHIRE. Under the “blogs” section there are a couple of […]

SAP Earnings and Additional Perspectives

In the interests of being “fair and balanced” I wanted to give you some links to posts that comment on our Q1 earnings announcement:

Vinnie writes that we are doing well against Oracle but still struggling to show traction in SME, and also comments that our maintenance business is coming under attack from third parties resulting […]

What is an enterprise wiki?

A real test of whether or not traditional knowledge management applications can embed wikis will be when Sharepoint debuts their native wikis in their release next year. I’m pretty skeptical that they will pull this off because systems like Sharepoint are largely built around architectural principles very different from wikis, like a single author versus […]

Comment spam attack

I’m in the midst of a full fledged comment spam attack, over 500 spam comments have been caught by Akismet overnight. Almost all of them are coming from IP addresses 64.62.228.x.

You would think that the spammers would not bother after it becomes apparent that none of their spam is making it through my filter (but […]

Gas Price Watch

I’m very fortunate that I don’t drive many miles per year, I think my truck just turned 12k miles and it’s a little over a year old, however, like anyone I’m not very pleased about paying $60 to fill it up (shit, I paid $20 to fill up my motorcycle in Death Valley on Friday, […]

How Microsoft can shut down Mini-Microsoft

In my travels promoting blogging within SAP I am often asked the question “what if an employee blogger writes something bad or embarrassing about SAP?”. My response to that question is “well if what they are writing is true, don’t you think we should really be worried about fixing it?”. This stuff is really very […]

Yahoo! Mail beta

Here’s a screenshot of Yahoo!’s mail beta, looks very much like the old Oddpost app but with much more zip. It’s really remarkable how far the browser UI has come.

Open Letter to Phil Wainewright

As I committed last week, here’s my response to Phil Wainewright’s post on SAP’s earnings and our path “down a blind alley”.

Dear Phil,

Your recent post suggests that Ellison is positioning Oracle for the switch to a subscription revenue model as affirmation of your belief that the entire industry must move to a zero-cost licensing model. […]

Intel’s Hard-to-Define Viiv Doesn’t Live Up to the Hype

I’ve been looking at Media Center PC’s for a couple of years, and they basically all suck. The problem isn’t the hardware or even the software, it’s the ideology behind PC companies (Apple could likely pull of a good media center Mac, even though it would only work with iTunes). When have you been forced […]
