Comment on Sun and MySQL: Few Acquisitions Make This Much Sense by jaiz

Hey Alper ,

Super !! Good Questions , Great Answers.
I am sure SUN with MySQL is a great combination.
It is a great boost for open source movement.
But in the end , ” VC’ s are bound to ask the nerve-breaking question, show me the money , honey”.

The biggest challenge is how SUN maintains a balance its “Open Source Involvement” and “Commercial sustainable Operation”.

Hi Alper,
I would also suggest that you make a comparison between IBM’s Open Source Initiative (Blogs, Articles, Engagement of Third-party enterprises and ISV) and Microsoft’s mechanisms (MSDN webcasts, Channel 9 for/by students and IT professionals, whitepapers, etc)

I believe that there are a couple books about the subject of blogging and its added values, worth some search!

from the organizational and technical perspectives, I believe that each organizations(startups,SMEs,WorldClass) should have their own Social Media organizational unit supported and equipped by the needed technologies to enable them to publish and spread their media contents to various web 2.0 channels (youtube, Slideshare, Facebook, etc) at once seamlessly!!

Integrating “Social Media Management Portlets” to the organization’s portal infrastructure would be a very desired solution.

Its an idea! have a good day my dear friend

While hi5 maintains its strong hold in Central America, it faces tough competition in Asia from many social networking sites. Hi5.com comes in first ten ranking in Alexa.com.

Comment on Are Online Video Ads Deteriorating TV Ads? by jaiz

No its just a transformation in our outlook towards advertisement. Online ads are bound to rule the ad world in the coming years.But the challenge is “attention span”.

WOMM is really interesting , the pics are emotional , rational and apt.

I particularly agree on the 69% who want to block the ads on tv.Its really disturbing to watch a program with too many ad slots.

WOMM will always be succesful , because of “Trust” and also the underlying feeling that “you are not the first one to try , atleast there is someone close who had experimented with the product/service”

Comment on Why Should We Write a Business Plan? by jaiz

jaiz — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 08:56:24 +0000

Soccer example is great !!! , but in reality what happens is people spend too much time on making the business plans glamorous rather than working on the ground details.

Today “agility” is the name of the game.
Well i don’t undermine the importance of business plans , its just that “Well Executed” is sweeter than “Well Planned”.

Good !! Thanks
