on 03/21/2013
Excerpt: Summary: Companies often need to decide between innovation and open standards when they put their data into the cloud. So how can we improve data portability? As more data is moving to the cloud, customers often have to make a tough choice: Do they want to make use of the most advanced offering, or do they want to rely on standardized solutions that offer them an easy way to move their data to another provider if necessary? “You have innovation, and then you have standards,” CloudSigma Co-Founder and CTO Robert Jenkins remarked at GigaOM’s Structure:Data 2013 conference in New York Wednesday.... read the full post.

Follow Sunil on Twitter @subes01. Like many others, I read the news about Zaarly, reported by TechCrunch’s Rip Empson last weekend, with some degree of shock. Zaarly is a well-funded business with an extremely talented team and ample resources to execute on their original vision, so I cannot understand why they decided to pivot so early in the game. Bo Fishback, co-founder of Zaarly, offers a detailed explanation here, but I can’t help but think they gave up on their original vision way too early.... read the full post.

on 03/03/2013
Excerpt: Infochimps is one of the early champions of the data market business, and one that I’ve followed for several years. As I mentioned in my last post on the topic, the company has recently begun to pivot towards delivery of their (compelling) Enterprise Cloud big data analysis offering, with the company’s data market origins slipping further and further down the home page. And now, it seems that they’re taking the next step. A friend drew my attention to Infochimps’ stated intention to stop providing API access to a number of data sets from today, 28 February.... read the full post.

Excerpt: In Justin’s post Marketplaces and Payments, he mentioned that “marketplaces are going mainstream and payment solutions are following to accommodate their needs. ” “Marketplace” is a fairly broad term.

More recently, though, asking your merchants to accept payments directly is becoming easier thanks to companies like Stripe, Braintree, Pin. net. au and PayMill.... read the full post.
