Number 9 Dreamforce

Number 9 Dreamforce

By John Taschek on August 31, 2011

For a Beatles’ fan and a fan particularly of John Lennon, the number 9 has an important meaning. It has enough meaning Lennon wrote a few songs referencing it, including Number 9 Dream. Perhaps I like Number 9 Dream because it seems to be, quite literally, calling my name on the background vocal track. But […]

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…

The Real-Time Brand

The Real-Time Brand

By John Taschek on February 7, 2011

As I write this, it is kickoff time for the Super Bowl, an event that galvanizes people as much as Bill O’Reilly does on a day to day basis. The Super Bowl is a brand, and while millions watch it, millions refuse to watch it, and hundreds of thousands are forced to watch it because […]

Does Twitter (Really) Make you Smarter?

Does Twitter (Really) Make you Smarter?

By John Taschek on November 29, 2010

When 95 percent of college students use social media tools, perhaps excessively, it seems almost impossible to isolate a study that tries to answer the question “does social media make you smarter.” This is an awkward and irrelevant question to ask and anyone who has been born since the industrial revolution but before Facebook was […]

Software is Roadkill

Software is Roadkill

By John Taschek on November 24, 2010

The fastest way to become roadkill to venture capitalists is to become a software company. Software may not be inherently evil (it has created wealth for many people that is in proportion to the pain it has provided to many customers). Software and specifically on-premise enterprise software, however, is clearly…

An debate with the Doctor of Failure

An debate with the Doctor of Failure

By John Taschek on November 21, 2010

Failure happens. There are many issues and stakeholders in any technology implementation process and any of them adds complexity that can lead to failure. The question is how much technology, the DNA of the technology vendor, and other stakeholders contributes to the failure. Is it always a project management issue…

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. I caution that during the video, it appears that Phil has gone into witness protection as the video camera and videographer grapple with a dynamic London dusk. That’s one area of cloud that…
