Dennis Howlett wrote an excellent post earlier on the gravity defying, ever increasing flow of maintenance revenue that Oracle continues to report ‘thanks to great sales people’ Dennis suggests in ‘How Oracle gets customers to keep paying‘ that Oracle ‘knows’ what its customers are using thanks to sophisticated application use by seat sniffing software, and can [.

it's driven by the same old media love affair with distribution lock in. I've been on about this ever since I studied Google in 2001: Media traditionally has gained its profits by owning distribution. Cable carriage, network airwaves, newsstand distribution and printing presses: all very expensive, so once you employ enough capital to gain them, it's damn hard to get knocked out.

The past two months has been a blur. I wake up early, at my desk by 7am. It’s back to back meetings till really late at night. Highlights: We’ve closed significant funding for CitySourced/FreedomSpeaks. We’ve been nominated to Davos. We were selected to the Finals of the Knight Foundation grant. Lord knows I’ve been busy, but even though we’re seeing traction, I still don’t feel like I’m really getting that much done, sorta spinning my wheels.

Last night, an esteemed colleague in data security used the phrase "persistent storage". This struck me as a useful description for retention that has otherwise been described as "permanent". The word "persistent" connotes an ongoing nature without definite termination. It seems more appropriate since nothing is truly permanent. The earliest writings we have are 5,000 year old cuneiforms.

These words from one of the main founders of modern political science Niccolò Machiavelli’s 1513 book ‘The Prince‘ show how timelessly resistant human nature is around change: “…and one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new [.

Because honestly, it reminds us to link all these concepts together.

I'm a bit reticent to jump into this, as I'm not sure you all care that much, but I've got a decent reason for writing about Buzz ( yesterday's piece ) again today. First, I've seen a piece ( Calacanis ) proclaiming Buzz the second (third? fifth?) coming of social. Facebook will "lost half its value" due to Buzz's arrival, Jason opines. I think this is silly.

Our goal was simply to create a series of short online videos about our products and our users, and how they interact.

Meeting with senior folks at agency holding companies like Omnicom and Publicis, as well as clients like McDonald's, I find this four-word mantra coming up, over and over: " Local Mobile Real Time Social ". Fascination with these buzzwords is not news to you all, as readers here, but to have a moment when major brands are all looking for solutions in the same space is rare.

So Google went and did it - it integrated a whole mess of social and local features into Gmail, wrapping the whole thing into a product burrito it calls Buzz (Yahoo has got to be fuming , if it has any more fumes left, that is). The first-day response is somewhat positive - mainly due to the huge installed base that Gmail brings to the party. However, I am not so certain this is going to work.

That's the rumor (BI via WSJ). The idea is to let Gmail become your portal into status update. It won't work, period, unless it connects to Facebook and Twitter. And so far, as I've pointed out before, Google won't do that , at least, not yet, and and certainly not in the way it should be done. Google is simply not understood by consumers to be a place where they can connect with friends and colleagues.
