From the Greenroom

If you even glanced at my blog last week you probably noticed a slew of videos from VMworld 2011.  What was a simple idea a couple years ago – give people a taste of what we were up to at the various trade shows & highlight partners – has turned into a fun and exciting part of my job.  I do hope they give you a flavor of what is happening on the show floor.  While I try to schedule some interviews and topics prior to the show(s), many of the ‘on the spot’ videos truly are situations where I’m...

Part shameless self promotion while taking a cue from Morning Radio shows, I’m out of the office this week and decided to post some of my most popular blogs – according to you, the viewer.  Or as Kent Brockman puts it, ‘this reporter places the blame for all of this squarely on YOU, the viewers!’ CloudFucius Shares: Cloud Research and Stats: Sharing is caring, according to some and with the shortened week, CloudFucius decided to share some resources he’s come across during his Cloud exploration in this abbreviated post.  A few are aged just to give a perspective of what was...
