AppExchange Seven Years On

AppExchange Seven Years On

By Denis Pombriant on February 19, 2013

The AppExchange is undoubtedly a significant portion of what makes salesforce.com unique.  Pre-integrated solutions dramatically reduce the cost to the customer to extend the capabilities of Salesforce and the fact that it has already gone through growing pains means it will take other providers years to mimic its capability and impact.    ~Narinder Singh, co-founder and CSO, Appirio […]

The Real Problem With Mobile WiFi:  Terrible UX

The Real Problem With Mobile WiFi: Terrible UX

By Bob Warfield on May 15, 2011

Stacey Higginbotham with GigaOm wonders why WiFi doesn’t relieve some of the congestion on the mobile networks. Apparently an AT&T executive says it’s like this: The executive noted that AT&T didn’t see Wi-Fi helping the nation’s No. 2 carrier offset congestion because in most cases people don’t use Wi-Fi unless they are sitting still in […]

Efficient Marketing Means Doing Something Different

Efficient Marketing Means Doing Something Different

By Bob Warfield on March 13, 2011

Startups have to solve three problems to succeed: 1.  They need a great product. 2.  They need a business model that results in profitable growing revenue. 3.  They need an efficient marketing model that results in a profitable growing customer base.

Is the App Store Hamstrung by Its Billing System?

Is the App Store Hamstrung by Its Billing System?

By Denis Pombriant on March 8, 2011

A subscription service provider’s offering has three parts — the actual service-product, an infrastructure for delivering it and, for lack of a better word, value-add.  A provider may deliver all three as a single service but that’s not necessary. A common form of subscription is a car lease in which a customer buys the use […]

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree

By Denis Pombriant on March 3, 2011

In this case it was the Apple IPad 2. Yesterday’s refresh of the iconic, category making iPad looked more like a bug fix release than a new iteration.  Sure it’s lighter, supports two cellular networks and WiFi and it has the AppStore behind it but it only leaves me saying, “So?” Here’s a news flash […]

Is the iPad a big iPod or is it the new Newton?

Is the iPad a big iPod or is it the new Newton?

By David Terrar on January 30, 2010

The first thing I’ve got to say is the title of this post was supplied in a tweet from Alan Patrick (@freecloud), but it perfectly encapsulates the controversy going on in the geek world around the new Apple tablet device announced on Wednesday.  Is it going to be as successful and “game changing” like the […]

My Droid Review

My Droid Review

By Jeff Nolan on November 10, 2009

Image by doctor paradox via Flickr My wife came home with a Droid yesterday, which on one hand was pretty cool while on the other very disturbing as she is by no means a geek and not once did she ask for my opinion on this device. I suspect that some kind of counseling may […]
