[…] The new database is now available at o20db.com, and is powered by Dabble DB, WordPress, and several other tools listed on this page. Each application has its own page, like this one for Salesforce.com. When data is available, each page displays generic information about the application and its logo, user-generated star rating powered by WP-PostRatings, recent news fetched from the application’s blog using Magpie RSS, Alexa chart courtesy of alexaholic, and Technorati chart. Down the road, we will add thumbnail screenshots (technical solution to be defined), vendor profiles, and traffic information to be provided by our upcoming Office 2.0 Audit Service. […]
[…] Yesterday, Salesforce.com launched its Spring ‘07 edition, and announced AppSpace, a platform allowing the development of customer-facing web based applications powered by the Salesforce.com application and the Apex language. AppSpace is currently scheduled to be available in April as a limited release, and looks very promising. Unfortunately, its current pricing will put it out of range for a broad category of existing or potential Salesforce.com customers. […]
[…] On the registration front, we are currently evaluating Event Wax. It supports the embedding of registration pages within your own web site, offers multiple ticket types (free, limited, early bird, bulk discounted, etc.), accepts payments through your PayPal account, provides notification through RSS feeds, and can export data as spreadsheets or XML files. It does not have an open API yet, therefore integration with Salesforce.com, which we are using as primary database, will require some serious hacking. For this reason, we’re interested to learn about any other conference management solution you might have used or heard of. […]
[…] For a consumer-oriented Web 2.0 startup, eyeballs might be all it takes to get funded. But for an Office 2.0 upstart, paying customers are required to get investors even remotely interested in your venture. This creates an interesting challenge for entrepreneurs: where to find prospects willing to try new products, without having to spend any money on marketing? Part of the answer might be provided by our friends at Salesforce.com, in the form of the AppExchange. […]
[…] In the long term, I would like to get a read/write REST API, and the ability to define types for nodes. One type that I would find very useful is the Task type, with simple Deadline and Status attributes — I don’t care for priorities, for they are not part of the GTD methodology. Having these would allow me to integrate MindMeister with Salesforce.com for facilitating task management. Whenever I would create a task node from MindMeister, it would automatically create a corresponding task within Salesforce.com, stored in relation to the custom MindMap object that would link to the map. Then, I would complete the task from Salesforce.com, which would automatically mark it completed onto the MindMeister mind map. I have been dreaming about such a workflow for quite some time, and it seems that we are getting pretty close to the time when it becomes possible. […]
[…] What’s Missing Beside support for macros and pivot tables, integration with Salesforce.com would be fantastic. A typical use case would be to dynamically embed data produced by Salesforce.com reports into a spreadsheet, merge it with data provided by third-party services, then produce charts from it. […]
[…] But for all its talents, the iPhone’s killer application is its web browser. Simply put, the iPhone is the very first device that allows one to get access to any website on the go, instantly, and for anyone serious about Office 2.0, this is a huge deal. As you could expect, the first online application I tried once I got online was Salesforce.com, and I was pleased to see that I could comfortably use it in order to retrieve any piece of information. Granted, creating new records through such a small screen and without the help of a keyboard would be more challenging, yet it remains possible for the rare instances when such a need should occur. […]
[…] In order to stay in touch with past attendees and sponsors, we publish a newsletter distributed through Constant Contact. It gives us the ability to send our newsletter to more than 250 people at once (limit currently imposed by Salesforce.com), while automating the opt-out process. It’s email wizard is certainly one of the most effective editor for designing professional looking emails that can be sent in both HTML and plain text formats. […]
