Twitter is so, well unthreaded, and it is hard enough to follow conversation threads without them being scattered about. I really feel like conversations on Twitter are like sparkly objects, and we all just turn our head from one to another without much interaction... I suppose that is the overall point of <140 words, but scaling is very hard... Just my opinion. - ChangeForge
"Chris, this sounds very interesting. The architecture indeed sounds strong - especially given the SaaS aspect of your offering. It makes me wince to even think of backup/restore operations on DB's, but I have had to do many for various reasons. I would also submit, this is one very strong advantage for SMB's to look at SaaS offerings - to which I penned an article as well. There is still the classic, on-going debate on "owning the data" versus "renting the application" - especially in mission critical or applications.
With regards to the shifting marketplace, I would whole-heartedly agree. Microsoft, if not by education alone, has shifted the landscape already. I look for the future of CMS/DMS to have many consolidations and many closures... That being said, I would venture to say you are positioning your company very smartly if trends continue." - ChangeForge
"Chris, thank you for e-mailing me, and I would like to thank you for stopping by ChangeForge. I greatly appreciate your question. First, let me qualify that I am not a database engineer or DBA. That aside, I work in a position whereby I have been exposed to a small number of CMS/DMS solutions to include some big names like EMC (Legato) Application xTender, and some smaller ones you probably have never heard of. So here's my take: We have 2 differing formats for CMS/DMS prentations: 1) the unstructured and "crawl the sprawl" route (e.g. Google), and 2) the highly structured route as in traditional CMS/DMS offerings. I am focused more on the latter, just to clarify. Traditionally, metadata is stored within a structured format to increase the transactional return of information - and to increase overall transaction speed and efficency. You even see this in Business Intelligence (BI) software where they are cubing data to help increase the return of large volumes of information. However,..." - ChangeForge
"Louis, just to piggy back on your idea of cloud computing taking the forefront and blurring the lines between why you would choose 1 OS over the other...
I had at 1 point felt that performance on critical line of business apps would always require that one-on-one feel you get by using an actual desktop/laptop OS... and predominantly, Windows ruled the roost in enterprise-land.
However, this is quickly become a thing of the past for many reasons: Hardware getting better, programmers writing cleaner code that works better together (I think), virtualization, stronger SaaS offerings, and more availability of high-speed data access might be just a few I would mention.
Do you feel like this browser is out to steal more market from IE alone - or do you think FF will end up being a casualty on this as well? What's your take on some of the legal verbiage Google is so fond of slipping in (e.g. you give us rights to your work)?" - ChangeForge
