AlwaysOn: Benioff Keynote
Salesforce's Marc Benioff (after determining that 60% of the audience used Yahoo!, Gmail, etc. for their personal email but still Outlook, etc. at work), on Exchange Server, Lotus Notes, and other commonly used enterprise email platforms: "It's the worst piece of technology in the whole industry!" Oh wow, I had no idea this was out there: Gmail for your domain. (Note it's on a secure server.)
Discussing various key aspects of Web services/software as a service*:
- Transparency: see trust.salesforce.com [Update:] In the later related panel: "At Oracle we didn't have a 'trust' page — we had an F.U. page! [audience laughs] I'm not kidding!!"
- Mashups: see Bikramfinder (a Salesforce client)
*[Update:] Dan Farber captured all 10 factors.
