Some props for Mr. Governor.
Praise for the anti-analyst firm analyst firm.
Why RedMonk is succeeding where other analyst houses fail: “Other analyst firms primarily target sell-side or buy-side. We really don’t see the world that way. RedMonk’s core constituency is ‘make-side’: the makers and doers, hackers and players.”
Steve does the Sun/MySQL aquisition Q&A and speculates on some interesting effects of the deal: “… YouTube sold for $1.6 billion, and consumed virtually no software. If that acquisition was to take place today, they would have been buying from Sun.”
EC2 is my current pick for most interesting / innovative tech development of the year. Everyone will have to have an EC2 clone by the end of 2008.
Go RedMonk. This is a major pick-up, IMO.
The always insightful James Governor’s with a fist full of insight into insightless topics such t-shirts… weeeeeeee!
