It's amazing to me how we overuse words. Bothering to notice is an occupational hazard of the writing life, I suppose. For instance, consider the word "unique," which means one of a kind. If you add "very" or any other modifier to it, you get mush. Today's word might be "amazing." There is entir...

Email marketing providers responded quick...
At Salesforce.com's Dreamforce 2010 conference this week, EDL Consulting showed off version 2.0 of CloudCraze, which it touts as the first e-commerce platform built natively on Force.com.

Salesforce.com's Dreamforce event is now 10 years old, and it's reached the stage where it draws a true sample of the Salesforce ecosystem.

Salesforce Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff devoted much of his keynote speech at Dreamforce on Wednesday on lashing out at Microsoft.

Well, it's Wednesday at Salesforce.com's Dreamforce in San Francisco, and the excitement is palpable.

It's about 8:20 a.m. on Tuesday in San Francisco, and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" is playing as people file into a conference room at the Moscone Center for Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff's speech here at Dreamforce 2010. Well, yes -- the doors to the room where keynotes will be given opened al...
Companies spend a lot of money to drive traffic to their websites.

However, placing a live chat button on your website will not generate more traffic to your...
