Nope, Ben Is Wrong About What I Said And Open Source

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 7, 2012

OpenStack Community By The Numbers

OpenStack Community By The Numbers

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 5, 2012

Platinum and Gold members have 2/3 of the votes in the board with Platinum Members enjoying […]

Tips For Google+ Hangouts

Tips For Google+ Hangouts

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 23, 2012

I have been using Google+ hangouts ever since it came out and in the past couple of months, I have used it to effectively run online panel discussions on various topics of interest.

On The Issue Of Standardization Around AWS APIs

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 12, 2012

I am an vocal opponent of the idea of standardization around AWS API *at this point of time*. I think that it is too early to standardize and too risky especially when Amazon has not released the APIs under one of the open licenses like Creative Commons. Stephen O’Grady from Redmonk highlights the second part […]

Google+ Hangouts On Air and SMBs

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 8, 2012

Yesterday Google unwrapped the Google+ Hangouts on Air to general public with relatively little fanfare. This is part of Google’s social strategy but the product has the potential to disrupt many startups in the space, especially the ones targeting consumers and SMBs. Google could flex their Youtube muscle to literally shove them away. Google+ hangouts […]
