The tweet pushing scones after the Boston bombing shows why social marketing efforts need checks and balances. Also, people of different ages will have different reactions to things. Different sense of humor. Different...
In reply to: Timing Is Everything
I agree with everyone who's pointing out that vendors aren't going to play along, and I would add a question about the relevance of "standards bodies" today, in an age where technology is moving so much faster than standards...

Good context to keep in mind on EBS. Thanks for weighing in, Joe.
In reply to: Re: Amazon EBS
I don't think that Google is really "attacking" EBS as per the core of what EBS is. In fact, EBS (and EBS-like functionality) is really what enables IaaS for most applications, because it allows for the snapshot and...

Many of these occurred because of a lack of judgement. What are the policies in your organization? Do you receive social media training?

Bezos "absolved himself of responsibility" for what exactly? For creating a hugely successful business that drives other companies out of business? Companies have been doing that to other companies for generations. Does...

Thanks for your note. I understand your point of view in that, yes, most people buy phones on-contract to get the subsidized price. The monthly subsidy averages about $20 per month over the lifetime of a contract. The issue...
In reply to: Re: Some Great Tablets and SmartPhones
Definitely, and to be fair, the company suggested it was working on a range of responses. I'd expect that if it hasn't done so already, it will feed the details to larger online service providers. But for stolen email and...

Touch is good but only on hand held devices. It's fine for Microsoft to enable touch on PCs but the desktop is necessary for developers which I am one of. Having an app take over the entire screen is a show stopper for me....
