I'd be Crazy to Kick @Krishnan Out

I’d be Crazy to Kick @Krishnan Out

By Zoli Erdos on June 26, 2013

  My long-time friend, CloudAve author and co-editor Krishnan could not have picked a worse week to announce his turning RED: his news quickly got overshadowed by a deluge of  even Bigger and REDder news from REDwood Shores: Oracle with Microsoft, Oracle with Salesforce.com, Oracle with NestSuite .. whose next? 🙂 Anyway, the signs of […]

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

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

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 7, 2012

Today Ben Kepes of Diversity Ltd. made a post about OpenStack. Without going into the merits of his post, I will like to address a paragraph where he quotes me. At OSCON recently, I joined Alex Williams of TechCrunch and Krishnan Subramanian from Cloudave to discuss the future of the cloud. We spent quite some […]

Announcing TalkingPointz

Announcing TalkingPointz

By Dave Michels on October 11, 2011

Welcome to my new site: TalkingPointz.com – the new home for PinDropSoup. It was four years ago this month that I started PinDropSoup as a telecom blog. A lot has changed. It was initially just a hobby, but the page views consistently grew. The blog created numerous opportunities for me, regular writing opportunities at major […]

Number 9 Dreamforce

Number 9 Dreamforce

By John Taschek on August 31, 2011

For a Beatles’ fan and a fan particularly of John Lennon, the number 9 has an important meaning. It has enough meaning Lennon wrote a few songs referencing it, including Number 9 Dream. Perhaps I like Number 9 Dream because it seems to be, quite literally, calling my name on the background vocal track. But […]

Chrome Update With Print Preview, Better PDF

Chrome Update With Print Preview, Better PDF

By Zoli Erdos on August 2, 2011

I’ve long switched to the Chrome browser and have not looked back.   Our readers seem to agree (partial stats based on last 500 views). Chrome is my favorite not beacuse they say users of that other browser are dumb (ouch…), but because of the constant innovation, the added features I am getting without ever having […]

By Zoli Erdos on June 6, 2011

Constellation Research, founded by fellow Enterprise Irregular and star analyst Ray Wang has just announced the  ambitious Supernova Awards program, focusing on – what a twist! – customer champions of innovation, rather than vendors. Krish and I both feel honored to have been invited as Judges for the Cloud Computing category. Below is the official […]

Organized Robbery

Organized Robbery

By John Taschek on January 24, 2011

We’re at a time of rebellion against maintenance fees, which now include the elements of insurance, extortion, declining systems, and of course refactoring all of which add to the costs of any implementation. Add that into the actual implementation itself, and one is left with whopping fees and eventually ineffective…

CloudAve is on WordPress Now

CloudAve is on WordPress Now

By Zoli Erdos on September 5, 2010

We’ve moved.  No, we’re still moving. You can see the evidence all over, we’re still in the middle of a platform move, combined with a facelift, most of which is yet to come.  You may have read about our crowdsourced logo-redesign effort, which is still ongoing, but has not produced the WOW-effect I expected (feel […]

Six Months Reflection, and a Treatise on Transparency

By Zoli Erdos on March 24, 2009

If you’ve ever read our About pages, you probably know that Zoho is our exclusive sponsor. This is a rather unique arrangement, where all Zoho gets in return for its support is the ability to advance the cause of Cloud Computing while leaving all editorial decisions in our hands.  When we launched half a year […]

Is Twitter Being Used to Attack Blogs? We Still Need Social Feeds.

Is Twitter Being Used to Attack Blogs? We Still Need Social Feeds.

By Zoli Erdos on January 14, 2009

An older post on my personal blog, If Scoble Thinks He Found Bad Startup Marketing, He Ain’t Seen Nothing  received several comments this morning, all showing the same structure, pointing back to Twitter accounts – some are clearly spam accounts with only this one update, but others appear to be real users, although I am […]

Forwarded to me by Mike Prosceno – not sure who to credit for the original. Update: a search on TinEye reveals 32 occurances of this image – still don’t know who the original owner is, but at least now I know the photo was shot in Dubai.

New York Times Extra: Who Cares About Clutter, It’s All Good

New York Times Extra: Who Cares About Clutter, It’s All Good

By Zoli Erdos on December 4, 2008

Isn’t it funny how a move by traditional media can divide the blogosphere?  Today’s move is by none other than The New York Times: they opened up their front page to third party content.  If you enable Times Extra, you get up to eight related stories beneath each NYT main story.   These stories are picked […]

Welcome to CloudAve – and Thank You, Harry

By Zoli Erdos on September 15, 2008

We must be a crazy bunch on a suicide mission.  Why else would we launch a new blog focused on Cloud Computing and Business, when it’s just a fad that will collapse in two years? Harry Debes, CEO of Lawson Software is a respected Enterprise Software industry veteran, but I’m afraid for all his achievements he’ll […]
