BotchagalupeMarks for May 28th – 15:17
By John | May 29, 2009
These are my links for May 28th from 15:17 to 15:32:
- Google and Salesforce.com Join Clouds – Google and Salesforce.com said today at the Google I/O Developer Conference that their platforms as a service will talk with one another. Using the libraries provided by Force.com for Google App Engine, developers can now access the data stored in the Salesforce.com cloud from inside Google’s App Engine.
- CHART OF THE DAY: Amazon Runs Away With Retailing (AMZN) – See the red line? That's Amazon's North American revenue growth over the past five years. See the green line? That's retail sales (seasonally adjusted). See the blue line? That's e-commerce.
- VMware Buys 5 Percent Stake in Terremark « Data Center Knowledge – Virtualization market leader VMware (VMW) will acquire a 5 percent equity stake in managed hosting provider Terremark Worldwide(TMRK) for $20 million, the two companies said today.
- Adventures in Open Source » Blog Archive » Interop 2009 – Another example of serendipity: on our first day at the show, Jeff and I were at a table utilizing some wireless bandwidth when John Willis walked by. He didn’t know we were going to be there, so it was nice to see he had decided to wear his OpenNMS shirt anyway.
- ElasticVapor :: Life in the Cloud: RumorMill: Amazon to Open Source Web Services API’s – I usually try to avoid posting rumors but this one is particularly interesting, I first heard about it a few weeks back but recently had independent confirmation. Word is Amazon's legal team is currently "investigating" open sourcing their various web services API's including EC2, S3 etc. (The rumor has not been officially confirmed by Amazon, but my sources are usually pretty good)
- ElasticVapor :: Life in the Cloud: Google Jumps into the Cloud Wave (AJAX over XMPP) – Busy day for cloud interoperability related news. Google just announced a new service called Google Wave, described as an open communication and collaboration platform & protocol based on hosted XML documents (called waves) supporting concurrent modifications and low-latency updates. In simple terms Google Wave can be thought of like an ajax spreadsheet over XMPP.
