Google continues to extend its lead in the search market, as the results from comScore’s latest report show: Yahoo’s shares slipped from 22.2 percent to 21.6 while Microsoft’s fell to 9.6 percent from 9.8. Google’s rose to 59.2 percent.
It’s bad enough that Microsoft is looking to purchase Yahoo purely for market share (a move I […]

I just wanted to weigh in for a second on Facebook, and its luring Sheryl Sandberg away from Google.
I think it’s a good idea. I have a lot of respect for what Zuckerberg has done so far. But Facebook is at a very critical point - and as a CRM analyst at heart, I think […]

I am in final prep mode for SugarCon, and I really think this conference is gonna rock. Literally - stay tuned for Colin’s play-by-play (I am sure he’s still in football mode following his Giant’s victory over Belicheat and Tom Shady).
But even with all the buzz around SugarCon over here at Sugar HQ, justice returning […]

I am deep in the throes of final preparation for what I hope will be an awesome event next week - SugarCon.
But I wanted to take a moment and think about Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo! No, I don’t think it will “beat Google” or really make any changes in the way Yahoo! operates. But, Yahoo!’s […]

I’ve never been one to do heavy thinking on a Friday, so I’ve decided to tackle a lighthearted issue that a colleague here at SugarCRM mentioned, and one that I’m sure have annoyed plenty of you: Internet marketing.
In case you haven’t noticed, Yahoo! has been doing some tinkering with their homepage, and annoying myself and […]

Google’s Eric Schmidt just gave a speech in Washington that posits that agencies like NASA should be collaborating more with the private sector, and learning from open standards being developed in open source communities.
Makes sense…I think there are already some good examples (Google Earth being the most obvious) of NASA and consumer technology merging. I […]

A lot of Microsoft talk around here lately…but I think one of its most interesting moves of late was its acquisition deal for Fast Search and Transfer. At the 451 Group, we saw a lot of potential upside to a deeper marriage between traditional applications and search and categorization tools. And to be honest, I […]

I didn’t read the New Yorker much when I lived in NYC. My motto was, dumb people read the Post, smart people read the Times and people who want to look smart read the New Yorker. But now that I’m gone I can indulge…
I found an interesting article in a recent issue on Google and […]

TechIQ just released a list of 10 OSS companies it feels will dominate in 2008. (I guess without writers for Letterman - this will have to suffice.) The list is pretty interesting - and its always nice when your company gets a nod - but I found it somewhat disturbing.
A lot of the companies are […]

In a new Forrester report, analysts Benjamin Gray and Robert Whiteley served up 10 reasons why the iPhone isn’t ready for corporate America. Forrester argues, that while Apple will gain some penetration into the road warrior market, it will be primarily a result of osmosis, as some enterprise employees will purchase them and begin demanding […]
