Anyone know what this means for Heroku? I love their service and I'd really hate to see it depart from what it is.
I'm really happy for the Heroku guys, but I'm also kind of nervous because I can think of so many ways Salesforce can screw this up.
“The next era of cloud computing is social, mobile and real-time. I call it Cloud 2,” said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, salesforce.com
I don't think we have anything to worry about...
Of course not. He knows almost all the buzz words. Although, he could have added something about game mechanics and location awareness.
Let's get this straight, Marc Benioff doesn't give a damn about startups. His clients are the Fortune 500. When he thinks about the current clients of Heroku, he gags (and sees how much money can be made by selling to CTO and CIOs at companies like Boeing, Dell, Starbucks, etc.).
I do think we have something to worry about when management type milks terms like "web 2.0" and now "Cloud 2.0" and "social".
I was being sarcastic :)
