NECC 2008 is winding down. The sessions were much more lightly attended as the final day went on.
On an interesting note, it appears some of the vendors on the floor are trying to answer the free Web 2.0 tools and Google services with their own products. At least one or two, primarily vendors aiming services at Information Technology folks, seemed to make a point of espousing getting away from Google services and using theirs. Seems to me they're taking on a pretty big gorilla. It also makes me think they are afraid. I guess they're afraid of losing sales. Free trumps pay services, everything else being equal.
I'm not seeing issues that IT folks should be concerned about, at least with Google anyway. But then again, I'm not qualified in that area.....
Now, let's see if I can keep the blog rolling again from here.
See you in Washington!
