This is a big deal. GE has signed a deal to put Zoho Applications on 400,000 desktops. Or webtops, really. Congratulations to Raju and his team over at Zoho!

“Peanut Labs CEO Murtaza Hussein said today: ‘The CPMs are so low it’s really hard to build a real business unless you have several billion page views and your own sales team.’”

We had a nearly full room, and the group was engaged and we had a great time meeting everyone. There were some great questions from the room and some good healthy debate [...]
Here’s what I (and many thousands of road warriors) want Google.
I want a local cached always up to date copy of my entire Google docs set of files. I want to create a folder on my local drive and it should automagically sync with Google docs without my ever thinking about it [...]
My time at Business Objects has finally come to a close. It was an awesome two years, with a lot of learning. I met a lot of extremely talented people there and through my association with the company. I was feeling the entrepreneurial urge again so i decided to throw myself back out of the [...]
