For example, in the last couple of months Oracle bought RightNow (cloud-based customer service) and IBM acquired DemandTec (cloud-based retail analytics).

Intranets are dead. Long live the Digital Workplace!
OK, this is partly an argument about labels, but labels matter. What most employees understand as their "intranet" -- updates from corporate communications, some HR forms, and a mountain of outdated docs -- is increasingly irrelevant ... Continue Reading

One of the arguments against building downloadable, native apps for mobile devices -- as opposed to browser-based web apps -- is that you sacrifice portability. Since you use platform-specific APIs, the argument goes, you will need to develop your app separately for each of the platforms you want to support. However, this argument is starting to get diluted, as emerging approaches can get the best of both worlds ... Continue Reading

Once you decide to mobile-enable your enterprise information systems, the key question you need to address is whether to provide mobile access via Mobile Web (browser-based interfaces) or by offering downloadable applications ("apps").
This is a longstanding debate and proponents of both approaches will point to numerous benefits ... Continue Reading

While most people are trying to figure out how it competes with Facebook, it has also added an additional channel for web publishers ... Continue Reading

If you ever used primitive site-builder services like Geocities or Tripod, you probably remember how you could select from a set of pre-defined templates, add a guest book, and embed some dancing gifs or a free jingle, to create simple (mostly personal) web pages. Since a mobile site is the new "in thing" now, many of these services that were popular in early days are making a come back ... Continue Reading

Most recently, Wired Magazine managed to reach the zenith with the article "The Web is Dead. Long Live the Internet." Even though that's been discussed to death on the web (dead itself), allow me to spoof their title one last time.
