Not in Kansas anymore

too big, too large.

I tried to find where the food court is. The map of the mall is digital. Ofcourse I am clueless. There are 200 people for a square inch. Are we social? I have to ask the next guy.

Sanfran is so plush....

I have this hotel that they claim the room they charge 350 dollars a day. Well It took me 10 minutes to convince me that there is a bathroom, not becaus the room is large but it is barley longer than 6 feet in any direction.

Then I tried to find where is the trash can, whose smallness I have no words to describe. it may not be safe for a toddler to play with because they might swallow it.

DRO??

is there anything in it? how does it work? From the noise I here more about Facebook than DRO.

satya - Wednesday, August 31, 2011 9:55:17 AM

Lot of noise (Spiritually it is right, but practically wrong)


Facebook
Google+
Chatter
When CEOs start talking about technology, time to look for something else.

Key: your customers can be part of Chatter of your company

Really, what happened to all the websites that are fundamentally built with user portals?

satya - Wednesday, August 31, 2011 10:09:06 AM

So chatter is competing with

I get that. yes it is platform, however

However there will be an ecosystem of cloud based platforms that will compete. Much like the OSs of today, windows, apple compete.

who is early to the party

app engine
drupal
facebook
salesforce

satya - Thursday, September 01, 2011 9:59:23 AM

Characteristics


users
groups
(accounts)
shared storage
database
modules
Partitions
Release isolation

satya - Thursday, September 01, 2011 10:00:55 AM

Negative forces


which language?
which database?
single or multiple?
How will it migrate into the future?
How do you migrate between platforms?

satya - Thursday, September 01, 2011 10:02:06 AM

I must give that....

appexchange being one of the first or the first of this idea of apps. But again it is an extension of an OS being migrated to the cloud.

So how did Salesforce get here and not other cloud systems??

My suspicion

Focusing on immediate value to small and medium size companies and in time exploded out

Sufficient technlogy to satisfy business

satya - Thursday, September 01, 2011 10:28:15 AM

Challenges to Drupal

For drupal to challenge something like salesforce, they need to COAGULATE value and deliver it.

It is not done well today. PHP as a language is another challenge.

chatter and email

Here is a 2006 note on how email may/need-to get transformed. This may point to how something like Chatter could really encroach on something like outlook

There was a conversation with Eric Schmidt

Beinoff asked Eric of the job situation. the discussion took towards education and spending more money on education.

I personally don't think education is the issue. I belive "jobs" is tied to the unnecessary trendiness of modern societies to look for the prom queen right out of a womb.

In all honesty: The expanding cloud offerings from salesforce


Salesforce (the current vertically-horizontal one)
force.com (loose some of the verticalness)
database.com (loose the UI, visual force etc. REST based)
heroku Postgres (Relational db in cloud)

satya - Friday, September 02, 2011 6:31:01 AM

heroku postgres is REALLY cool, but pricey for single at home developers

Future looks very good for salesforce

They are standing on their solid ground (salesforce.com) and are branching out in new ventures. I think they have the right mix to do really well in the next few years. Their vision is right. But I came away thinking they may need to hire hard hitters in their talent pool for some of these efforts.

Technology moves at astonishing pace or just Time itself


Play
Roo
Maven
Hadoop
Mapreduce
ec2

common stop. All I want is to move my microsoft access database to a simple enough cloud database. At my price point I am still looking. Closer perhaps but still looking.

Every cloud still have some (or lots) of dark linings. Everyone loves their little set of tools that it is practically impossible to move around.
