Steve Ballmer: No Monkey Dance. No “I love this company” but still compelling
Rating: I know Steve’s email address: na na ne na na….
GoMo Reader: So Bena how was your day?
Bena: I have four words for you: pop fly(ing) and silverlight(ing)
GoMo Reader: What did Steve Ballmer say?
Bena: He said that 2.0 was the future and Microsoft knew it and he wanted to make sure that Microsoft was on the radar of every entrepreneur and start up company.
That the software market alone was no longer the huge growth opportunity but advertising, search and community was.
GoMo Reader: Really, what did you think when he said that?
Bena: I felt that we (you, me and everyone in search and advertising) are getting ready for the next revolt in social interaction and media. We are sitting on a gas pipe and somebody is about to drop their cigarette.
Search, advertising and community is the killer and its also the bread and butter of my knowledge skills and the constitution behind both GoMo News and BKI Media.
GoMo Reader: You sound inspired?
Bena: Not really inspired but definitely positive. Steve Ballmer didn’t do a monkey dance but he does have an aura. Conviction is another word that springs to mind and some person made a point about servers being too expensive for start-ups and he got out his pen and made a note and said – he was on it.
!
How big is that?
GoMo News Reader: So, what do you think?
Bena: The session was great. The talks very informative and helpful…
Search and mobile search was missing for me. I can see how search can be integrated into Popfly and the dynamics of that operation linked with advertising could create a huge space and community of on and off-line users tweaking, pulling and pairing social networking with key words.
Two vital words “sharing” and “mobile” were missing from a lot of today. I feel that Microsoft is cornering the Web space and making it happen but hasn’t found its feet in mobile yet. There might be some movements to create a java client for Silverlight but not yet. That should be high on the agenda as I firmly believe that there is a Mobile Data 2.0 and it is now.
