Shrinking Balls

Shrinking Balls

By John Taschek on February 10, 2011

In my last post, I wrote about the sentiment analysis of the Super Bowl and how brands are impacted by the real-time stream. That stream stimulates a Mean Girls phenomenon that causes people to be more passionate and start to bully as they become more popular. I know some analysts…

Dreamforce: Decade of Inspiration

Dreamforce: Decade of Inspiration

By John Taschek on December 7, 2010

Putting some English on the Enterprise

Putting some English on the Enterprise

By John Taschek on September 13, 2010

CloudBlog caught up with Phil Wainewright, a leading pundit on all things cloud, in London during Cloudforce.
