I so saw this coming… of course I probably could claim a higher degree of prediction gift were it not for the fact that this is SF and everyone who knows the City by the Bay knew that this would happen.

Dennis Howlett’s post titled Feeling the Fear and Doing it Anyway and David Tebbutt’s Jerry Bowles’ (sorry Jerry!) post titled Top 10 Management Fears about Enterprise 2.0 made me think of a couple of things in order to put context around them.

It’s ironic that so many people at SAP complain about sending revenue dollars to Oracle on the database side of the house, yet the one company that can truly disrupt Oracle’s database business is [...]
You can append “+something” to a gmail address and it still comes through… for example, “myname+teqlo@gmail.com” would still be delivered to my inbox. So why would you want to do this? I don’t have specific use case examples but filtering is certainly one scenario. The other interesting use would be to use this to see [...]
