lol.. .I would have put the "raising the heckles" in the "hot" list... but glad you liked it. To be fair, we really have to give credit to Jenine for the shirts... great work again.

Ben – As always, great chatting with you again. I think something must have gotten mixed up in the compilation process, with regards to my comment about traditional SaaS providers. I’m actually in complete agreement with Isaac. The economics of using strictly cloud providers for 24/7 hosting of b2b SaaS offerings aren’t there. Dedicated hardware is still cheaper in most all cases. We actually posted about this over at SaaSBlogs a few months back: http://www.saasblogs.com/2009/07/13/the-true-value-of-cloud-computing/ What SaaSGrid does provide in that area (as pointed out) is the ability for ISVs or enterprises to merge public and private compute resources into a single mesh, with very fine grained control over usage. Take for example an ISV that builds tax preparation software. They can be running their application on dedicated hardware all year, but use a cloud provider like EC2 to seamlessly scale out their resources during the month or two of peak tax prep season. By abstracting architecture and delivery mechanics away from infrastructure AND the actual applications themselves, SaaSGrid is the enablement technology that is changing the way many companies think about software architecture and delivery.

[..] . One more summary seems unnecessary, since there have been so many good ones already. And thedebatesare starting to feel a little trumped up and warmed over, and so less fun to wade back into. [..]

Comment on E-mail Is Dead…Long Live E-mail! From Enterprise2Open

@Gary Agreed. By the way, Wave tries to provide both asynchronous and synchronous _features_, but I'd say that _experience_ and _usage_ is still asynchronous. @Dav, I wish I knew. The E2Open ran out before we knew it, so I didn't even have the time to walk through all my key points:-) I hope I get more time next time. I'll submit a paper for E2.0 conference in Boston, and everybody is more than welcome to vote for it. I'd be happy to leave time for a big Q&A, so we can turn the session into a live discussion.

Comment on What is going on with LinkedIn?

Hi Mark Brilliantly timed article and totally spot on. I've been having massive issues with linkedin as I manage the SaaS group (14,000+ people) and they are really getting behind the curve on spam and recognising where the value is being added. I couldn't resist it- I just had to blog about my frustrations... http://www.justinpirie.com/2009/11/open-letter-to-linkedin/ Just like Donna above- the customer service has been awful and I haven't had a single response from LI. Also really liked your post on selling social to enterprise- bloged about it on the TWIS newsletter: http://www.justinpirie.com/2009/11/this-week-in-saas-2/ Regards, Justin

unique feature of Teamwork is Risk Register where you can post potential problems for the project. For each potential problem you can assign it a priority. This feature helps team members and clients watch out for potential snafus that can derail a project.
