By Louis Columbus on March 25, 2014

The scope, scale and variety of enterprise software review sites continues to accelerate, each promising a true glimpse into a buyer’s experience. These sites include Credii, G2Crowd, Google Apps Marketplace, Microsoft’s Pinpoint, LinkedIn, Trustradius, Salesforce AppExchange, and many others.  Each of these sites claims to have safeguards in place to ensure authenticity of reviews.  A few including G2Crowd are positioning themselves as Yelp for Software.

pretzel logic: l’acte deux

pretzel logic: l’acte deux

By Sameer Patel on August 5, 2013

Five years ago I started this blog because I felt really strongly about an ill conceived contention in a blog post about the promise of RSS. Hours before I read that post, I had no intention or desire to blog but I felt really strongly about my PoV and decided to put up a blog […]

Monday’s Musings: Mastering When and How High End Brands Should Use Daily Deal Sites Such As Groupon

By R "Ray" Wang on April 4, 2011

OnCompare: Finally a Service to Help Pick Other Web-based Services (Yes, Yelp +++)

By Zoli Erdos on February 2, 2011

It’s rare I get excited by a new service, but OnCompare has great promise, and if my own experience trying / discarding services is any indication, it serves a real need.  Mashable calls is Yelp For Software, not without reason, in fact half a year ago it was just a cry out for help by […]

The Left Over Prediction for 2011, Winning the Local Wars

By Michael Fauscette on January 17, 2011
