I have looked at DabbleDB’s site a few times in the last several weeks, but I haven’t yet delved into trying it out (navigating the dizzying array of web applications hoping to take over various office features is a daunting task to say the least). But, in looking at their pricing I couldn’t help wonder what the conversations that must have gone on behind the scenes were like. DabbleDB’s pricing looks like this (looks much nicer on their site): [...] [...] Jeff Nolan’s post about DabbleDB and how it portends the much-predicted shake-up in enterprise software (the increasingly grating “2.0″ suffix is used here as “Enterprise 2.0″ by too many people of late, though not by Nolan) got me thinking about pricing and targeting of the various new offerings in webland.

In my previous post (click my name above to read) on Disruptive Innovation I mentioned how JBoss and open-source technologies have the potential to be disruptive but may also be co-opted (again a concept introduced by Christensen). I would wager that open-source and AJAX are likely to be co-opted by big enterprise software companies. However, the subscription software (SaaS) has much greater potential for being really disruptive and not so easily adopted by existing large software vendors. I would love to see you post more on this topic! Jeff- You couldn’t be more right.

Basic calculaton functionality ain't there or is buried. I've pinged Paul about this. I’m not impressed with progress from the closed beta. Basic calculaton functionality ain’t there or is buried.
