POLL: Klout is a legitimate metric of online influence (Agree or Disagree)

Couldn't disagree more. Klout is a Marketing 1.0 company desperately trying to make a buck. http://www.martijnlinssen.com/2010/11/klout-nail-coffin-who-cares.html shows Klout's CEO admitting that it's in the experimental stage, and that "all who are trying to make money off the social web" should be thankful to them

Salesforce finally fully integrates Jigsaw into their platform. What took so long?

Not very surprised, really. Taking into consideration the ambitions, loudmouthing and final actual outcomes for Chatter, Salesforce simply has very little understanding of Integration

How can the use of social media define a company's future success?

Social Media are just another tool and channel to present yourself to the outside world - but apparently we have to reinvent the wheel now. Influence, CRM, Marketing - everything seems to change now it's Social

Cloud and cost savings...

Fine question, or issue - not handing out case studies though I'm afraid
I will give some bullets that should make clear exactly where Cloud can hugely save cost
PaaS/IaaS:

Top Cloud Computing Thought Leaders and Influencers to Track in 2011?

Thank you very much Becky, much obliged!
I think we'll all be less fussy about Cloud Computing in 2011. Next to that, I hope so...
It's not snake oil nor a one-size-fits-all cure, and knows many facets. I'm very bad at design and luckily can't add an ... more

How do I mitigate and manage the risk of moving to the cloud?

Hi Eric,
which Cloud part do you mean, and to what extent? IaaS, PaaS, SaaS? Which parts of your business do you want to move where? Static parts, dynamic ones, business-critical or core-business?
Why do you want to move what where? What are the costs, the returns?

What are competitive offerings to Salesforce.com's new database-in-the-cloud - Database.com?

To be very brief here: databases usually perform at transactions of hundreds of thousands per second. Having a DB in the cloud is useless, as the Speed of Light dictates that the worst performance there (one roundtrip around the globe) will take 1/7th of a ... more
