The founder or Salesforce.com asks the question - “Why isn’t all enterprise software like Facebook?” Facebook brings what is most important to the user - updates, statuses, news feeds, etc. - into one place. Marc Benioff sees the direction of cloud computing and software solutions moving in this direction, changing the way work and collaboration is done.

ReplyDeleteJust last week, Facebook was granted a patent (applied for back in August of 2006) on the very newsfeed mechanism that Benioff praises. However, it remains to be seen if the patent will be used to push back against Twitter, Google Buzz, etc., or if the it will be used more defensively in the future.
