Oracle AppsLab: We Were Connect First!

  • Andrew Shebanow · 2 years ago
    Well, its not like you guys were the first to use Connect as a product name for a web service anyhow. There was Adobe Connect, and WebEx introduced a Connect product a few days after that...

    Double bummer for us b/c these are both social networks. Oh well, naming is such a drag anyway.

    See I told you ... you wouldnt listen ... just like the impetuous teenage upstart that you are! Listen to your elders, we know things and I dont just mean Zeno's Paradox - go look it up and pull ya pants up!

    ... teenage upstart [i]of an application[/i] that you are ... not suggesting you're a teenager Jake ... wish I were still thou ...

    Do you want me to publish your suggestions? Not sure I have enough ink to explain the significance of each, very erudite. I'll see you at OOW for a smackdown :-)

    Now now ... calm down, stop throwing your toys out of the pram. I was just making a small point, whats in a name any way - its the app that matters :0)

    I like the new 'About You' field and that its searchable. Just need to get people to fill it out now to make it useful - go to it folks - its what we wanted!
    I also like the - 'No contacts yet. Go socialize!' tagline for those poor folks that dont have a network yet.

    As for OOW I'll take you on, Tuesday 10pm in the Moscone parking lot - if Im late, start without me!

    lulz, you don't know who you're messing with; i have my own technorati tag

    About Me needs a push, which I'm hoping to get to soon.

    ... I worked putting a KM/SN product together at a large energy company 10 years ago. Want to guess what it's name was? ;-)

    Graham: This is taking on a life of its own. I should do a post about all the Connects in the industry so we can quantify how lame we are :)
    Thanks for reading/contributing.

    so what you guys using to front the AppsLab site? Oracle WebCenter Suite perhaps?

    If you were truly Web 2.0, you would have dropped the vowels and launched 'cnnct' on the world :-)

    Yeah, we discussed that, but thought it would be a little too much all at once.
