Ok, so, here are my thoughts on Ulitzer...
As a blogger, I focus on traffic and I spend quite a lot of time optimizing
my SEO.
Since the target audience of my articles is much greater than the reach of my
blog, Ulitzer is actually helping me increase my content reach.
Moreover, Ulitzer does it in a very fair way since links back to my posts or
other locations are without the evil "nofollow" - providing a nice SEO boost.
It also gives me some good metrics that are very useful data points on the
effectiveness of my blog articles.
And last but not least, it allows my article to appears in the news listings
of the two major search engines, which is a very nice channel extension.
So, all of this means that, while Ulitzer might be seen as a competing
channel to bloggers, I think that bloggers should realize the tremendous
value it could bring to their blog.

describe a cloud. Interestingly enough, this is true of all kinds of clouds,
from the meteorological to the computing. During the last few years, we have

So is cloud computing simply vaporware, or something tangible?
While the name might be “buzzy”, cloud computing is in fact a real
phenomenon and does create great technological ... (more)
If you are lucky, and curious enough, Oracle can be the best place to learn
the enterprise software market. I have worked at Oracle for about seven years
and, in my entire career, it is where I have learned the most about
enterprise software. When Oracle announced it was buying Sun, I was actually
not that surprised, and I thought it was to be expected after the IBM escape.
Oracle is in a self-fulfilling prophecy to consolidate the enterprise
software market and, after IBM turned down what could have been a great match
for open source and Java, Oracle had to jump in. Larry Elliso... (more)

Software technologists tend to learn by oscillating. We never arrive directly
at the right solution; we just come closer to it by going back and forth. We
always think (or like to think) that our current solution is correct; only to
realize, some years later, that we overshot and need to take a few steps
back. The evolution of the software application model is a great example of
this syndrome. Every technologist knows about the three main application
model phases—Mainframe, Client/Server, and Web [1.0]—and many of them
think they know what the next phase will be. In fact, two mod... (more)
