Folks – We Have A Winner!
Isn’t winning the greatest feeling? I told you that I would pay out $100 in Amex gift cards each week to the person who invited the most users to the Connectize beta – and I am paying out today! This week’s lucky winner is Brad Buck! Brad is at OpenCrowd in NYC – a really cool company that helps customers in the web 2.0 space and cloud computing! Brad and I met when I worked for a SaaS SOA company. Brad – thanks for helping us build out our beta user base – the check is in the mail!
Ok – so half my friends were like “Canning – You-capital-efficient-CEO-money-machine – I will never see a red cent from you even if I do win!” Trust me (I’m in sales!) I have a drawer full of cards to give out – and they are yours for the taking! Just try me… as they say, “These cards gotta go this quarter!”
Moving on, we’ve been busy with the Wiki. Very cool things you will see this month. We’re doing some heavy back end lifting for you that will just blow you away when you see it. Stay tuned as we work on getting this ready for prime time. A lot of good work leveraging SOAP web services!
Cloud Computing I heard is all the rave from a good friend of mine who attended a VC event this week. I have had Cloud on the brain ever since I heard SOA was dead. I think I participated in that funeral process. More to come on the cloud over time – and to be precise – it’s Cloud 1.0 for now!
A big Welcome to new users that signed up! Feel free to voice any suggestions. The invite promotion continues throughout Q1 – take a few minutes and maybe you can be next week’s winner!
