10 Things That Caught My Eye: Week of 6-27-11

This seemed to be one of the more interesting weeks I’ve seen in quite a while. Yahoo makes a big move in Big Data, Google+ launches, Homeaway IPO’s and much more. Good stuff, take a read through. They’re dancing in the streets of Austin…well that isn’t so out of the ordinary on Sixth Street. But after [ READ MORE ]

10 Things That Caught My Eye: Week of 4-11-11

There are times I wonder whether this post is still of value to people, but then I ran into Amadeus’ Debbie Iannaci at the ACTE conference last week and she says she reads it, so for now it stays. But I’d love to hear from others too. ZipCar had a very successful IPO, as the stock [ READ MORE ]

10 Things That Caught My Eye: Week of 3-21-11

Lots of tablet/mobile news to kick things off: RIM is struggling to maintain relevancy and apparently co-CEO Jim Balsille’s comments during their earnings call on did not inspire much confidence that they can turn the tide as the stock slid 13%. Matt Drance sums up the reason for the poor response to the earnings call well: [ READ MORE ]

10 Things That Caught My Eye: Week of 2-14-11

Hope everyone had a happy Valentine’s Day! Concur held its annual Fusion conference. COO Raj Singh laid out “4 Big Areas of Growth” (mobile, social, cloud and platform) in his keynote.

10 Things That Caught My Eye: Week of 2-7-11

Lots of mobile platform announcements this week and that’s even before the Mobile World Congress kicked off. But some big travel industry news too, leading off with… ITA Software renewed its agreement with Orbitz thorugh 2015. This is the first contract that was renewed since the announced acquisition by Google.  This should definitely help clear [ READ MORE ]

10 Things That Caught My Eye: Week of 12-6-10

A very interesting week indeed. In particular a lot of news out of Salesforce.com and TripAdvisor. Salesforce.com had their Dreamforce event last week and there was no shortage of news. IDC #staranalyst Michael Fauscette summarizes the show, but I wanted to highlight 3 announcements of note: Salesforce Chatter goes Freemium. Perhaps one of the most important announcements [ READ MORE ]

Is This RIM’s Waterloo?

When you combine these two headlines: Bank of America and Citigroup Consider Ditching BlackBerry for iPhone and Dell to Offer Its Employees Venue Pros Instead of BlackBerrys, things are starting to look awful bad for the Waterloo, Ontario based (get the play on words in the headline now?) smartphone maker. I mean seriously we already knew [ READ MORE ]

10 Things That Caught My Eye: Week of 10-25-10

Happy Halloween everyone.  Of course the most important event from last week was Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Rally to Restore Sanity/Rally to Keep Fear Alive. HuffPo provides responses from the “media”. In other news… Appropriate given that we’re at the height of the election season and have just recapped the Rally to Restore Sanity, [ READ MORE ]

Quick Take: HP to buy Palm for $1.2B

There’s going to be a lot of analysis to come, but here’s my first reactions to the news that HP will buy Palm for $1.2B. For one, I’m glad that Palm is going to survive.  The WebOS received a lot of acclaim as a technology, yet it never took off.  The PDK they release just a [ READ MORE ]

Ease of Development v. Ease of Use — Mobile Edition

Today I read a good post by CrispWireless CTO, Xavier Facon, entitled “Apps Call, but will your phone answer? Maybe not.” The post was a response to an MSNBC CES article bemoaning the fact that many apps exist on certain platforms, but not others.  This of course is not news.  Apple’s iPhone had 100,000, Google’s [ READ MORE ]
