Salesforce.com: Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty?

Salesforce.com: Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty?

By Zoli Erdos on September 4, 2009

Is Salesforce.com’s glass for SMBs half full (of lemonade)  or half empty?  I borrowed the lemonade metaphor from Venturebeat’s post announcing Salesforce.com’s new Contact Manager offering for (very) small businesses. On second thought we should use orange juice as a metaphor – as in disappearing orange juice, by Tropicana which offers less juice in a […]

The Importance of Psychological Currency: Connecting Mind To Enterprise (Part 2)

The Importance of Psychological Currency: Connecting Mind To Enterprise (Part 2)

By Mark Fidelman on August 24, 2009

Thinking about how people work in today’s enterprise reminds me of the movie Being John Malkovich.  You know what I’m talking about – it’s like the low-ceiling offices on floor 7½ of the Mertin Flemmer building in New York City.  The ceiling is all of 4 1/2 feet high, and they have to emergency-stop the […]

Another Discussion on Transparency

Another Discussion on Transparency

By Ben Kepes on June 8, 2009

Over the weekend all hell broke loose when uber blogger Michael Arrington made some comments to Leo Laporte about the need for full disclosure (details here and video below).

Zumodrive Launches, Forgets About Transparency

Zumodrive Launches, Forgets About Transparency

By Zoli Erdos on January 17, 2009

Krish wrote in December about the importance for startups to do the math early and publish their pricing: In the absence of any word about the future pricing plans, users are hesitant to put their data on these storage startups, usually offering generous amounts of storage space.

The Anti-Beta Revolution. Or is it a Counter-Revolution?

The Anti-Beta Revolution. Or is it a Counter-Revolution?

By Zoli Erdos on November 22, 2008

Gizmodo has just issued  A Call for Revolution Against Beta Culture – great article, and boy, do I love the illustration!. I’m tired of this beta culture that has spread like metastatic cancer in the last few years, starting with software from Google and others and ending up in almost every gadget and computer system […]

Zoho Announces Status Dashboard for All Services – You Can Use it, Too.

By Zoli Erdos on November 11, 2008
