The Cloud Must Go On. Watch the Banned Benioff Keynote Live.

By on October 5, 2011

The best thing that may have happened to Salesforce.com at Oracle Open World is getting CEO Marc Benioff’s keynote cancelled.   Oracle and Larry Ellison are now officially the Bad Guys (opinions are split on whether Larry is the Emperor, Darth Vader or God), @Benioff is the oppressed Folk Hero, Salesforce.com got thei $1M keynote fee back, and the live stream will likely get 10x the viewers it would otherwise have.  Seriously, if Salesforce.com was not a successful software company, you’d have to hire them to do your Marketing / PR. :-)

Yes, the Cloud Must Go On, @benioff will speak at at nearby restaurant – don’t try to get there, it’s a small place, rather watch it here live, starting at 10:30am:
