Bloggers Strike Imminent

This is amazingly mind numbing. There is a writers strike on in Hollywood and it’s barely registering on the pages of the LA Times, much less around the country. This lack of attention is escalating in a manner similar to what my 3 year old does when he’s not getting his way, and now bloggers [...]

EventTracker Update

Sorry to keep posting with this but I can’t help it, EventTracker is so cool. 16 people signed on and twittered OOW today resulting in 371 tweets. Not bad for the first time out, and considering that we didn’t have this groups functionality even a week ago, very cool.

Mark Hurd at OOW

Heh, I was really surprised by HP CEO Mark Hurd. He’s engaging, displays intellectual integrity (he’s consistent) and is clearly very insightful. What a nice departure from his predecessor.

Big companies have repressive cultural dynamics and decision making cycle that result in important strategic initiatives taking a really long period of time to emerge and when they do the compromises that are made in order to get consensus from the [...]

Twitter Event Tracker

My friend Criag Cmehil put together a neat little service that fakes a group function in Twitter. Here’s the URL for the website.

The way it works is like this:

1) Follow “eventtracker” in Twitter

2) Send a Tweet to “@eventtracker start*oow” (in this case the group is “oow” for Oracle OpenWorld [...]

Questions for Charles Phillips?

Tomorrow morning at 10:30am a handful of the Enterprise Irregulars will be meeting with Oracle President Charles Phillips. I don’t expect this interview will be terribly revealing, but it is a first as far as I know insofar as Phillips has not been very accessible to the press, much less the blogosphere.

Do you have some [...]
