Open Source As A SaaS Endgame: Google Wave’s Rebirth And Its Future

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 7, 2010

Regular readers of this blog know that I have long been advocating Open Source as a SaaS Endgame. It is my argument this kind of escrow will help build customer trust on SaaS, especially from smaller SaaS vendors. This is the beauty of open source. It not only reduces the risk for SaaS users, it […]

Are We Nearing The End Of Google Wave?

Are We Nearing The End Of Google Wave?

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 4, 2010

Techcrunch has a post talking about the possible demise of Google Wave, its much hyped real time collaboration platform. Even though it is not completely unexpected, it is a bit of a shocker for me personally. Maybe it was just ahead of its time. Or maybe there were just too many features to ever allow […]

Open Source as a SaaS Endgame

Open Source as a SaaS Endgame
