Floyd, you are an exception for me, since you are an Oracle customer. If you got all mad at Oracle and blogged about how much we sucked, that would be a cause for concern.
Aside from that, we are all just sharing ideas in the interwebs miasma.

You nailed the gist of blogging, at least from my own perspective. I don't imagine that my voice has any influence on the development, purchase or use of Oracle technologies. My only influence is in sharing information, promoting conversation, or drawing more people into a conversation, and that the conversation itself might develop to the point of having some positive influence.

Steve: I saw in eventtrack that you asked Jeff questions, but I don't recall seeing answers. Please do check out Mix and let us know what you think.

It was sad that nobody other then Tim Bonnemann, Ralf Dossmann and myself (all Oracle employees) showed up for the unconference session with Mark Finnern. We had a great discussion on Global Communities and the cultural challenges in building this communities. Tim took some very good notes about the session. http://wiki.oracle.com/page...

your last point is spot on - Open World is very much about openness, Oracle has always been very much about Open Standards since it's beginning and I don't imagine that mentality changing.

I'm enjoying my blogging so far, after setting up a wiki about 3 years ago I thought I was due to dip another toe in the web 2.0 water - I have twitter penciled in for 2010 ;)

Jake, the world is flat. Quit making heretical comments about earth rotating -)

Once again, thanks for having us. And giving us the soapbox the commenter chides you for -)
