Social Business Facts and Fiction.

Social Business Facts and Fiction.

By Sameer Patel on February 29, 2012

The hubris around Social Business is scaling new heights these days, and yet in many ways the concept seems to be redlining to nowhere.  As an example, take a look at this thread on Google Plus by Francine Hardaway. 133 comments later, there’s little agreement on what all of this really is, who the experts are, […]

Social Business needs a Cnut

Social Business needs a Cnut

By David Terrar on April 29, 2011

Careful with that spelling (for some reason I preferred it to Canute or Kanute).  Here is my premise.  I think, like Clay Shirky, that we are living in a period of transformation rivalling the changes in society triggered by the printing press, the telegraph, the telephone, photography, film, television, or the start of the Internet […]

Are Analysts the New Media?

Are Analysts the New Media?

By John Taschek on November 9, 2010

Technology media was further disrupted this morning when a seemingly minor announcement rocked the media world. The minor part is this – a new analyst firm was launched today. The disruptive part is that the assemblage of key influencers into one organization that is not advertiser driven. The new firm…

On The Analyst Business: Stars, Quadrants and Developers

Ever since the Altimeter Group got a gravitational slingshot from Forrester one of the topics under discussion is the Star Analyst firm, and whether a big firm can be one. Can larger firms celebrate their analysts […]

SCRMish Thoughts – A Look Back at 1st Half of 2010

By Paul Greenberg on July 21, 2010

I’ve been doing some thinking about the 1st half of 2010 and have some observations, some of which deserve a probably longer treatment than I’m about to give them and some of them that only need a sentence or two.  They are not entirely random but they are a series of slightly disconnected thoughts on […]
