Seth: Netflix Avoided the Tragically Knowable

Seth: Netflix Avoided the Tragically Knowable

By Bob Warfield on January 14, 2011

Seth Godin is perhaps my all time favorite blogger, and I have recommended him frequently.  We mostly agree, but not this time.  His recent post is trying to convey the need to “just do it” as Nike says, without a lot of testing and analysis.  Godin is big on getting on with it and not […]

Initial Review of Google TV a la Logitech Revue – Not really worth it, get a Roku instead

Initial Review of Google TV a la Logitech Revue – Not really worth it, get a Roku instead

By Michael Coté on December 10, 2010

If you’ve ever wanted to browse the web on your TV you should get a Logitech Revue, one of the Google TV boxes available on the market. Other than that, it’s a bit of a bust for myself.

To the winners go the spoils

To the winners go the spoils

By Chris Selland on November 19, 2010

I have seen at least a dozen of my smartest friends refer to Bill Gurley’s terrific post this week before I actually got around to reading it – which I finally did. My first thought upon reading it was of some recent discussions on StockTwits as well as among my Enterprise Irregulars colleagues, particularly in […]

Measuring Popularity in Communities

Measuring Popularity in Communities

By Jeff Nolan on July 12, 2010

I was browsing Netflix over the weekend and captured this screen image… Judging by the online reviews none of these movies should be considered “popular new releases” but I had to ponder this a little more before arriving at the critical framing question, which is what is the nature of popularity? The answer to the […]

Amazon Stealing the Cloud

Amazon Stealing the Cloud

By Bob Warfield on May 17, 2010

I saw a spate of recent articles that had some pretty amazing statistics and news bits on Amazon Web Services and competitors.   In no particular order: –  A survey of 600 developers by Mashery reported that 69% of respondents said Amazon, Google, and Twitter were the most popular API’s they were using. –  Even the […]

Netflix’s Movie Cloud is Moving into the Amazon Cloud

Netflix’s Movie Cloud is Moving into the Amazon Cloud

By Bob Warfield on May 7, 2010

Netflix has always been an extremely progressive company.  I know the founders, Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings well, and many of the employees too.  There is an amazing amount of brainpower behind the scenes there and it shows with their great products and great story. I read with interest Larry Dignan’s piece about their usage […]

Playing Dirty: Procurement Lessons From Slap Shot

Playing Dirty: Procurement Lessons From Slap Shot

By Jason Busch on January 26, 2010

A certain vendor product-type (who I know would prefer to go
unnamed in this context) recently reached out to me. This was not to give me the skinny on a new solution release; no, his questioning and probing was on
a far more important subject:…
