Why I’ve Shifted More Attention to Facebook

Why I’ve Shifted More Attention to Facebook

By Mark Suster on January 24, 2016

I’ve been spending a lot more time on Facebook as a blogger than I ever did. So I thought it was worth explaining why. And I’m going to cross post this entire post on Facebook as an experiment rather than just posting a link on FB and trying to drive people to my blog. If […]

Privacy is Dead and We Killed it

Privacy is Dead and We Killed it

By Jacob Morgan on July 30, 2014

Privacy…everyone keeps talking about it and apparently everyone is concerned with it, but does it matter? I recently watched the documentary, “Terms and Conditions may Apply,” which provides a fascinating look at how organizations such as Facebook, Google, Apple, and others have changed the way they look at and approach privacy. After watching the movie […]

Should Facebook Get Into the Employee Collaboration Space?

Should Facebook Get Into the Employee Collaboration Space?

By Jacob Morgan on June 26, 2014

An article in Techcrunch yesterday says that Facebook may be working on using their platform for internal collaboration. The article isn’t conclusive in any way and doesn’t speculate as to whether any type of new product is being worked on or if the chatter is about simply using Facebook for collaboration purposes. I remember hearing […]

Tell your work story with an infographic

Tell your work story with an infographic

By Hutch Carpenter on October 29, 2013

I have recently found myself updating my resume. Why? After 4 1/2 years at Spigit, I have moved on as the company has been acquired by Mindjet. It was a good run there. So I needed to dust off the resume. And you know, it was eye-opening how limiting resumes are. They are great for their […]

Why It May Take You 12-18 Months to Hire a Great VP, Sales — Period.  And What to Do About It.

Why It May Take You 12-18 Months to Hire a Great VP, Sales — Period. And What to Do About It.

By Jason M. Lemkin on September 9, 2013

We’ve talked a lot about hiring a VP, Sales.  It’s just such a critical accelerate-or-decelerate decision for a post-Initial Traction SaaS company.   We’ve talked about the 48 Different Types of VP Sales, What a VP Sales Really Does, and a Script to Use When Interviewing a VP Sales. But even armed with all that, I’ve gotta admit, I’ve […]

It’s Crunch Time for the Future of Work

It’s Crunch Time for the Future of Work

By Jacob Morgan on August 26, 2013

Within the next 2 years millennials (ages 18-35) will make up the majority of the workforce.  As I mentioned on Facebook page, these (myself included) are people who don’t know what it’s like to not have social and collaborative tools to get work done. We search on Google, share comments on Twitter, post pictures on […]

Does it matter if you are popular on LinkedIn?

Does it matter if you are popular on LinkedIn?

By Dan Morrill on February 13, 2013

I am sure that some of us have gotten these really cool e-mails from Linkedin lately helping us put some kind of context around our relative popularity on the internet, or at least on the LinkedIn system. The problem is that being popular on LinkedIn does not matter to me at all. Sure the infographic […]

Social Sales | 10 Social Sales Lead–ership Tips

Social Sales | 10 Social Sales Lead–ership Tips

By Joel York on February 12, 2013

Sales professionals are some of the earliest adopters and most annoying users of social networking. The problem is that most sales reps treat LinkedIn like a prospecting database for cold calling. To succeed at social sales you must have something to offer beyond your product. You must be someone your prospects want to know.

If You Want to Get Funded – Dude, Make It Easy On Them

If You Want to Get Funded – Dude, Make It Easy On Them

By Jason M. Lemkin on January 15, 2013

Lately, I’ve noticed that some of the absolutely smartest, sharpest folks I know trying to raise early/early-ish stage capital are struggling … and they are sort of amazed how other folks they know who, well, aren’t quite as sharp are mopping up that venture capital. What’s the issue?  Seems like it’s always the same.  You […]

At the Workday Rising event being held in Las Vegas this week, Workday announced the latest version of its product, on top of which they held an analyst/influcner day that I was following remotely. I’ve got a few thoughts about the analyst day but first a recap of the news.

What really is Open Source Software and what’s this community nonsense they ask…

By Adron Hall on September 21, 2012

Open Source Software (OSS), Why Some Fail At It OSS has won the war. It has been over for years now. Microsoft has ceded, Oracle, VMware and many others have stepped up and attempted to embrace the open source community. Sometimes they’ve been successful, sometimes they haven’t. They’re slowly changing their models to play well […]

IT Central Station Launches–A “Yelp for Enteprise IT”

IT Central Station Launches–A “Yelp for Enteprise IT”

By Ben Kepes on September 7, 2012

This one from the “trying to bring something from the consumer world into the enterprise but failing” category. IT Central Station is launching and billing itself as the first tech product review site for the Fortune 1000. The idea is simple – much like Yelp, people can list and review products – but in this […]
