Good folks we've bumped into at AlwaysOn include Ross Mayfield, who encouraged AO to include the blogging community, and Chris Preimesberger, who's been updating the AO 'blog and was kind enough to mention this blog.

This afternoon's experiment, courtesy of the AlwaysOn conference. I just walked the 1.25 miles from Kresge Auditorium at Stanford to gulker.com's 'World HQ' in Menlo Park, just off Sand Hill Road. I will audit the afternoon Linux panel from my Mac in Menlo, before returning to hear the journalist's panel later this afternoon in person. Results reported here... and this is an exercise in 'AlwaysOn' as I will explain... Comments 1:24:36 PM

Web services will kill conventional IT software says salesforce.com's Mark Benioff. He also thinks that companies like Sun and IBM are trying to sell their old technology bases, and not the advantages of future innovation. As companies look for ways to get costs out of IT, they will move away from traditional, expensive providers, according to Raymond Lane of Kleiner Perkins. From AlwaysOn panel on Web services...

What would 'brand-less' marketing look like? My marketing career has been all about building a brand, and I confess life is usually much easier for an enterprise with a strong brand. But we spend an awful lot of time and money trying to create them. Would we be better off spending the money to improve the product?
Witness Google: the product was the marketing and has since become a great global brand in a remarkably short time. Which makes me wonder about why you have to spend to build a brand. It's almost like you're trying to force something if you have to spend on marketing. I'll be returning to this topic in a future post... |
 Palm's Eric Benhamou thinks top-down innovation is bad. He argues that customer-driven innovation is the better path. He also sees remote controls as a big opportunity - remotes outship cell phones by 10 to 1. Hmmmm...Comments 10:14:08 AM

 The 'Hollywood vs Silicon Valley' panel at the AlwaysOn conference was among the most interesting, yesterday. 15-year old software developer Ben Casnocha said that record company tactics - suing teenagers and raiding college file-sharing networks - is just convincing his generation that they want no part of 'Big Music'.
Streamcast/Morpheus CEO Michael Weiss said that Hollywood is making the same mistake it always makes: they fought VCRs and video rentals, and now that's a bigger business by itself than the old Hollywood theatre model.
Older people in the audience were unhappy about the younger generation's casual attitude about IP: Ben's response was that you can play the 'guilt card', but his generation just has a different way of looking at information.
