Reality TV comes to the blogosphere

Look at Techmeme yesterday or this morning? Seems like everyone, almost literally, was writing about Amanda Congdon leaving Rocketboom, and the back and forth between her and Andrew Baron. If this were a company I was an investor in, or considering an investment in the individuals in any future endeavor, I would be horrified. There [...]

When Your Customers Take Over: The Dream Buick Lineup

This is interesting, the folks at GMInsideNews created their own “product revitalization roadmap” for General Motors. At first blush this looks like nothing more than armchair quarterbacking, but reading the original post and associated replies reveals a group of people with deep knowledge of GM components, manufacturing, price points, and market segmentation. My first thought [...]

Defense Blog

Just wanted to take a moment to highlight a really great blog that our industry team for the defense marketplace has been hosting. I really like this blog because I’m interested in the topic but also because my contact there has absolutely the right motivation for championing this; he simply said to me (I’m paraphrasing) [...]

Demo Days

David makes a really good point about the value of the demo. I love demos as well, mostly because I have serious ADD and I’m a visual person so watching a demo tells me far more about the potential and vision of a concept than the spoken word would. David is also correct that a [...]

Open source urged to remain European

“I think Europe needs to reassert itself as the business center for Europe.” Okay, but where else would the business center for Europe be, somewhere not in Europe?

The entire premise underlying this article is a bunch of crap, I mean who really cares where a company is located. I think it’s a little disingenuous [...]

Social Bookmarking on Your Intranet

Read the attached post, Seth is really understating the neglect that intranets are suffering from. When is the last time you made a point of visiting your intranet? The big problem is that the groups that manage intranets still think of themselves as in the business of publishing and content management as opposed to community [...]

People Over Process: RedMonk Radio Episode 16: SAP, Ubuntu Switchers, Cisco, and Appliances

RedMonk Radio is up with a podcast where I get taken to task for not being “enterprisey” enough.

People Over Process: RedMonk Radio Episode 16: SAP, Ubuntu Switchers, Cisco, and Appliances:

Quiet Period - Ugh!

I wrote a terrific post (at least I thought so) about Oracle’s recent claims of 585 wins against SAP in the last year (their fiscal year). I named names and deal specifics about where their wins were actually losses, where we actually did lose to them, and the number and specifics of deals we have [...]

Click fraud a huge problem

yeah it’s a big problem, but one we don’t hear very much about from Google/Yahoo!/AOL/Microsoft. I’m curious to know how big a commitment in resources these companies are making to combat fraud in their network, and how it affects their product roadmaps. Obviously, Ebay has had to deal with fraud more-or-less from their inception, however [...]

Happy Independence Day

“Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in [...]
