If you&#8217;re lucky, you know only one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They are the attendees of tech parties, the &#8220;Twitter consultants,&#8221; the armchair generals of the Internet, and their numbers grow by the day. Yet most of them couldn&#8217;t distinguish a line of code from a badly punctuated haiku.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What&#8217;s to be done with the social media experts? Accept that their blathering may contain some wisdom? Or require technical exams for all Twitter users with more than 1,000 followers? You decide! And make the NMDs among us take our &#8220;technical&#8221; quiz.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is always grave danger when amateurs turn overnight into experts. This sub-professional clown town is where B movies and Soulja Boy come from. It&#8217;s also the birthplace of every blowhard who tells you you&#8217;re &#8220;doing it wrong&#8221; without any technical knowledge or original thought to back it up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes, it&#8217;s not such a bad thing &#8211; in fact, there are a great many non-technical social media folks who are doing a great job of creating quality content and helping brands get themselved situated on the Web. But most of the people I can think of who fit this description have been doing their thing for so long that they&#8217;ve had to pick up a few technical tidbits along the way to ensure their continued success and to ensure they weren&#8217;t sounding like idiots.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, I hold the strong opinion that if you&#8217;re working in technology &#8211; even as a PR flak or social media consultant &#8211; you should be able to understand some of the terms, concepts and people that make your business possible. Otherwise, you risk your own reputation by taking the chance that you&#8217;re scarily wrong or laughably vague, and you risk gumming up the works for your clients by not knowing how to communicate with their audience, many of whom are very technical folk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ultimately, taking the time and effort to understand the technology you use is simply a matter of taking pride in your work, just like the barista who knows all the ins and outs of the perfectly pulled free-trade organic espresso or the skilled sommelier who, though he may not make the wine himself, knows everything about who did and where and how.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1511" title="bing_logo_may09" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bing_logo_may09.png" alt="" width="150" height="59" />February search results show that Bing continues to grow as Yahoo  sags.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Comscore<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/search-results-are-in-bing-is-up-again-yahoo-is-down-again-2010-3"> reported </a>that usage of Bing went up from 11.3% in January to 11.5%  in February, while Yahoos stats during the same period dropped to 16.8%  from 17%. Googles stats remained essentially unchanged.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The most impressive figures for Bing, however, come from a report  written by Morgan Stanley analyst Imran Khan.  Khan stated that Microsofts year on year search growth for the month  of February was 55.4%, up from Januarys similarly impressive 49% year  on year search growth. In the same period, Yahoos seen year on year  search volume shrink 9.8% in February and 8.9% in January.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what does this mean for the search market? It means that Bing has  continued to grow, and more importantly, that Bings growth appears to  be accelerating.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This appears to be due to a combination of factors. First, Bing is  apparently luring considerable numbers of users away from Yahoo. This  suggests that Bings extensive marketing efforts have succeeded to some  extent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Second, Googles growth appears to be slowing down a little bit. Year  on Year total searches for January and February increased by 12.4% and  10.4% respectively. Googles Year on Year search growth for these months  barely outpaced total search growth, coming in at 16.7% and 14.3%  respectively.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It appears that the search market is consolidating somewhat. Bings  market share is inching upwards, at the expense of everyone else except  Google. When Yahoo essentially  concedes their search engine to Bing, it will be interesting to see  if Bing is able to take a bite out of Google</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1506" title="Picture-124-300x270" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-124-300x270.png" alt="" width="300" height="270" />Google today is announcing the Google Apps Marketplace, and app store  for the 25 million people currently using Google Apps.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The store comes out of the desire for increased functionality among  Google Apps users, and the wish of developers to reach the millions of  businesses that depend on Google Apps every day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There have been companies developing for Google Apps for some time,  such as <a href="http://www.socialwok.com/">SocialWok</a>. However, the  process has always been difficult, and overly complex for both  developers and users alike. The new App store will change that by  creating a central location for applications, a central management  areas, universal navigation, data security, and simple sign in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Google is taking Apps and bringing the masses in to make it harder,  faster, better, and simpler.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Developers will be able to use tools such as OpenID, and OAuth,  meaning that users will be given use scenarios that they are familiar  with, and that developers will have a very simple time developing for  the new app store as it uses tools that they are already familiar with.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Google claims that its 2+ million Apps using businesses with 25  million users and over 1000 resellers will be developer accessable with  some 12 integration points. Open the floodgates, and let the developers  in.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1507" title="Picture-123-1024x657" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-123-1024x657.png" alt="" width="1024" height="657" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not coming with launch, but by mid-2010 Google will offer billing for  the developers. Developers will use Google billing APIs, but Google  itself will handle the billing according to the rules that the  developers set in terms of price and time duration. Google will not be  doing that for free, the company will take a 20% cut of those revenues.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Who is working with Google for the launch to bring in apps right  away? More than 50 companies, take a look:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1509" title="launch-companies" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/launch-companies.png" alt="" width="825" height="606" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While it may seem greedy on the surface for Google take such a large  cut, but recall that Apple takes 30% in the iPhone app store, and that  higher percentages are the norm in the advertising business. 20% for  Google to handle the headache of billing and providing such massive  market access is quite fair.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course what we have yet to discuss is the impact that will have on  the average Google Apps user. This means more, better applications with  simpler controls, and simpler billing. This will create a large,  serious cottage industry around Google Apps the likes of which we do not  see now.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And of course, this will make the cloud one step more powerful  against desktopapplications that used to reign supreme. Desktop might  still rule for now, but how many more blows like this can it withstand?</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1500" title="networkMap" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/networkMap.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" />To keep up with the growth of cloud computing  and virtualization, networks keep evolving.  But unlike Twitter&#8217;s  Trending Topics, IT budgets don&#8217;t scale up. In fact one of the major  initiatives in many IT shops is creatively reduce their own expense.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To get to a scalable cloud infrastructure where costs are contained,  it sounds like the network industry is going to see a time where a  &#8220;Linux&#8221; arrives on the scene. An open source alternative to building  networks may disrupt the networking landscape and give network admins an  open source network operating system.</p>
<h2><strong>Virtualization: It&#8217;s in the Network Too</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Distributing workload across machines, storage, and environments has  required networks to be smarter than ever.  Now, the network needs to be  intelligent enough to not only route traffic both a bridge and a  toll-gate, but to also provision and de-provision all aspects of the  environment at a moments notice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Providers like Rackspace are in the business of using the network to  optimize the performance of the entire data center.  To be effective in  keeping up with dynamic system provisioning, technical teams need access  to all tiers of the computing environment to reduce operations  overhead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1501" title="extremeRouter" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/extremeRouter.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="87" />Hosting providers, such as  Amazon Web Services and Rackspace innovate new integration patterns &#8211;  including ones in the core of the network &#8211; to get their job done.   Network operating systems that are open, like <a href="http://www.extremenetworks.com/products/extreme-xos.aspx">Extreme  XOS </a> enable large scale hosting providers to look deeper into  networking gear and start to tune it themselves.  And enterprises may  follow this trend.</p>
<h2><strong>Servers Don&#8217;t Sleep at Night, but Applications and Admins Do</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For a long time, networks have been used to detect the peers and  devices.  Many of us use the nearly ubiquitous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhcp">DHCP</a> (Dynamic Host  Configuration Protocol), which is the the thing that automatically  assigns IP addresses to a PC when plugging into the network.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In an analogy, there is a need for a &#8220;super DHCP&#8221; is needed that can  keep up with the highly virtualized cloud infrastructure per virtual  instance.   To do this, engineers look deeper to find efficiencies in  how the network talks to the hardware and software for the virtual  machines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A good example of benefit for this is where a resource has peak loads  during the day.  Due to natural usage, the applications compute power  is not utilized during the night.  Using monitoring and provisioning  tools, the network can de-provision the extra hardware and offer it to  another service.  This &#8220;freeing up&#8221; allocation saves power and money.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is a simple example of where virtual data center solutions are  being innovated in the industry to figure out how to further timeshare  the computing resources.  The network has the ability to help manage the  scale down to the moment is enabled by it&#8217;s reach to everything over IP  (Internet Protocol).</p>
<h2><strong>The Open Network Wins, Developers Rule</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Extreme Networks is betting IT leaders that have become very familiar  with Linux and open source Hypervisors like XEN want to tweak the  network.  For the data center manager that wants to go into the core  network engines innovate, there comes a need for APIs, SDKS, and open  access libraries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Extreme&#8217;s openness is in the form of web services, many offered that  are offered as <a href="http://www.extremenetworks.com/solutions/Insite.aspx">XML or CLI  scripting</a> that allow integrate tools into the core of the network  via XML, and configure edge ports for security and VOIP access as  dynamic provisioning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The company offers a <a href="http://ethernation.net/Default.aspx?tabid=87">code workbench</a> of its own to download widgets to plug into the network.  Designed for  the open source developer, it shares the familiar pattern that presides  in open source community for application frameworks and operating  systems code sharing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Shown in the diagram, Extreme&#8217;s network offers real-time provisioning  of code widgets in the network.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1502" title="XOS_diagram-thumb-610x368-14966" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/XOS_diagram-thumb-610x368-14966.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="368" /></p>
<h2><strong>Play Nice: the Networks Worst Enemy May be Success</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Will the network evolve to see an open source player that drives  change in pricing and value?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the rush to enable new efficiencies we wonder if this is an Apple  A-HA moment in the making.  The question seems to be can the giants in  the space balance the fine line of better end-to-end experience of  managing the environment and whether vendors do it best.  If we follow  the Apple example of industry success, and end-to-end play for the  network may be in the cards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last month, Juniper <a href="http://www.juniper.net/us/en/company/press-center/press-releases/2010/pr_2010_02_10-13_00.html">announced  it has created a new business</a> group and commitment to an Junos  ecosystem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Juniper has made a big move towards open source innovation in it&#8217;s  recent re-branding and at least to one analyst, John Furrier from  Silicon Angle, seems to be suggesting that Juniper <a href="http://siliconangle.com/blog/2010/02/10/breaking-news-junipers-big-judo-move-on-cisco-and-opens-up-to-be-the-google-of-networking/">Judo&#8217;ing  Cisco, like Google did with Open and Microsoft</a>.  That probably  doesn&#8217;t feel the least bit nice to the market leader, especially when  Cisco is priming it&#8217;s engines for <a href="http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/0593751.htm">changing  the Internet forever.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cisco announced <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/121207-cisco-ios.html">opening  IOS in 2007</a> in an effort towards compartmentalizing IOS as part of  its overall movement into a more software based organization. With the  complex series of network enhancements and feature sets, it will be  interesting to see how Cisco views &#8220;open&#8221; vs. &#8220;customizable&#8221; and where  the control lives for network management and up-time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When visiting the<a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/iosswrel/prod_gen_ios_licensing.html"> Cisco IOS</a> website today, we see the<a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html"> standard license</a> and no clear mention of open source licensing.   Cisco strikes the balance between open and controlled in it&#8217;s a approach  to defining what an open network is and where networks will be  encapsulated as services.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We wonder if Cisco deliver the capabilities to pull more traffic into  it&#8217;s end-to-end range, while open networking APIs rise as part of the  network service stack.  With this market, it&#8217;s likely both. At very  least, open networking has a role in determining the fate of the network  and where territories are being defined.</p>
<h2><strong>The Cloud is a Network of Services</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The cloud is defining a world where service orientation rules &#8211; both  the</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">software and physical layers.  And, it is breaking the rules of  workload distribution, where network topologies are changing.  The  requirements of connecting the layer 2 and layer 3 networks, as well as  IT leaders that are building solutions for mass scaling (enterprises or  service providers) are evolving and being driven by an ability to be  efficient at the workload level.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Extreme Networks Technical Brief, <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0CA4QFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.extremenetworks.com%2Flibraries%2Ftechbriefs%2FTBMACAddressTracking_1591.pdf&amp;ei=04KVS9WlOo2-sgPhoYnsBg&amp;usg=AFQjCNH5Mx8ABB9w9crKMHuP5nQX3bxA_w&amp;sig2=wO2Wow5UcKM_bAjA9jumyg">Dynamic  Network Virtualization Overview</a>, explains the value of plug and  play network components in today&#8217;s topology.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1503" title="cleanDataCenter" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cleanDataCenter.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="317" />&#8220;By leveraging Extreme  Networks ExtremeXOS, a modular, edge-to-core operating system, and our  extensibility frame-work including Universal Port Scripting and an XML  interface, Extreme Networks is able to tightly integrate the switching  network with the virtualization environment to create a  virtualization-aware network fabric that automates the network-level  virtualization required in next generation data center and cloud  computing environments. This unique functionality enables Extreme  Networks to provide seamless support of virtualization capabilities  across the various hypervisor platforms, including Citrix ZEN, Microsoft  and VMware. The highly integrated solution allows the Extreme Networks  solutions to trigger responses to virtualization moves as they happen in  the network by virtue of a tightly integrated XML-based network  management framework.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Extreme, and now Juniper, are moving in the direction of offering IT  administrators control points in networks and protocols to optimize it  opens the market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It looks promising to give administrators vendor leverage in buying  services without vendor lock, or waiting for feature releases from the  vendor.  And, it mirrors the open-source movement in bringing  communities together to solve problems and build compatible services.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Open APIs may define the cloud&#8217;s network of the future for large  hosting providers. We wonder if for the enterprise.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1495" title="20100309-87hsnwwhe3wsi52ygh95hnq2jh" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/20100309-87hsnwwhe3wsi52ygh95hnq2jh.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="516" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">SnapGroups makes it really easy to create a group discussion around a  particular topic, invite people, set variable privacy controls and then  participate in that conversation as part of a whole &#8220;newsfeed&#8221; style  stream of updates from all your various groups in one place.  Fresh  comments, likes and dislikes get pushed to your browser live using a  home-made bit of AJAX and the whole thing couldn&#8217;t be much simpler.   It&#8217;s a lot of fun to use, in fact.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fletcher says this is only the beginning, that all kinds of features  are still to come, but he&#8217;s focused on the basics for now.  He started  working on the site in October and says his favorite part of the project  was &#8220;learning about the new technologies that have sprung up in the  past couple years.&#8221;   &#8220;The various databases that have come out recently  are great,&#8221; he told us. &#8220;I&#8217;m using <a href="http://www.mongodb.org/">Mongo</a>,  but there are many interesting projects now.&#8221;  The core of the site is  written in C++.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fletcher says SnapGroups will go live tomorrow morning.  You should  try it out when it does.  Invites to groups will no doubt be flying  around Twitter and Facebook.  It may very well become something you want  to use regularly.    Hopefully there will be a way to export your  conversations easily.  Fletcher is a pretty straightforward guy and will  probably implement just about anything that enough people ask for and  that isn&#8217;t too hard to do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mark Fletcher has a habit of building relatively simple things, like  the first major email list system and the first popular RSS reader, that  end up being a defining player in the rise of a new era online.   Simple, real-time group communication?  Not at all hard to imagine that  being a big new thing as well.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1491" title="imgGoogleLogo200902" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/imgGoogleLogo200902.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="55" /><a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/statistics-for-changing-world-google.html">Google</a> looks to be following up the addition  of its Google Chart Tools with a neat addition to Google Labs &#8211; the  <a href="http://www.google.com/publicdata/home">Public Data Explorer</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The purpose of the new tool, Google says on the new lab&#8217;s page, is to  make &#8220;large datasets easy to explore, visualize and communicate&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Google,  with its access to an immense assortment of information, is in the  perfect position to help us with ways to display this information.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just as with the Chart  Tools, Google&#8217;s Public Data Explorer will allow users to directly  embed charts and other visual tools onto their websites. The charts will  be dynamically created, so if the data updates, so will the chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Google first  got into the public data game about a year ago and has been  including this type of data in its <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;gl=us&amp;q=Florida+unemployment+rate">search  results</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Right now, there are 13 datasets available, ranging from something as  specific as <a href="http://www.google.com/publicdata/overview?ds=cdldfhfilcloo_">Education  Statistics of California</a> to <a href="http://www.google.com/publicdata/overview?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_">World  Development Indicators</a> from the <a href="http://datafinder.worldbank.org/about-world-development-indicators">World  Bank</a>. Google has just added five new public data sources: the U.S.  Center for Disease Control (think Google&#8217;s Flu  Trends), the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Eurostat, the  Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, and the  California Department of Education.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are four choices for visualization styles &#8211; bar graph, line  graph, map or bubble, and each has its advantage. After choosing a  visual style, you can select what data points you would like to see and  set variables such as time period.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just as with the chart tools, we look forward to seeing how useful a  tool like this can be for all those smaller organizations that don&#8217;t  have the resources to hire a full-time web design team, but want to  visually display data to help visualize trends. This could be a great  tool for smaller journalistic organizations to compete with some of the  big dogs.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the biggest parts of Microsoft’s keynote  back in Barcelona, during Mobile World Congress, was the fact that  Windows Phone 7 Series would finally do what everyone had been wishing  for: integrate Xbox LIVE. They did show a couple screens of the hubs and  subsequent tiles, and what it would all look like by the time this  holiday season rolls around, but we were missing the most important  part. We needed to see it in action. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that  time has come. But, what we’ve been presented with has taken things to a  whole new level ...</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1487" title="7-Series-LIVE-540x251" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/7-Series-LIVE-540x251.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="251" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The common assumption was that arcade games would just <em>work</em> on the 7 Series devices. Youd be able to shop from the same  Marketplace, and youd have your Gamerscore updated as you accomplished  the necessary Achievements. All the standard material. But, as Eric  Rudder showcases here at the TechEd Middle East conference, it goes  beyond that. He shows us that he starts an arcade-style game, based on  the popular fiction character Indiana Jones, from his computer. But then  he tells us that when he needs to leave work, he can move the game  (which has saved his level (approximately)) to his 7 Series device and  play it on the bus on the way home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Heres the kicker though. Lets say you <em>love</em> this Indiana  Jones arcade game, and when you get home you wish you could just pick up  where you left off, but on your big screen. <em>Thats exactly what  happens</em>. Rudder then shows the same game, saved from your last save  point, and playing on the Xbox 360. Seamless. Frankly, <em>it just  works</em>. The fact that the XNA, Silverlight, and .NET framework all  come into play here is paramount, and this video shows us that games are  about to change in a big way.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Social Networking site Facebook is now offering its users the opportunity to share cash with each other, real cash that is.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">You can send and receive small payments via a Facebook application called Buxter and the company behind Buxter that will process the transactions is online payments company ClickandBuy.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Facebook-payments.jpg" alt="" title="Facebook-payments" width="600" height="392" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1484" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Setting it up is easy. If you already have a ClickandBuy account, and millions of people across the globe do, then all you have to do to take advantage of the service is set up your Buxter account on Facebook.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">If you dont have a Click and Buy account then you need to set one up before you can load cash in or out of your Buxter account.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Transactions on the Buxter system are limited to a maximum of 50 euros or less and are free to process between friends although there are small fees (minimum of 2 euros) for transferring money out of Buxter and into your bank.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">You cant make purchases from anywhere though; you will only be able to trade with your friends on Facebook.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">To send cash to a friend you simply select your friends name from a drop down menu and enter the amount you want to send. Easy!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">People share their statuses, their information and their pictures on Facebook so the question is why not share money there too? said Christian von Hammel-Bonten, senior vice president at ClickandBuy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">He hopes people will use the service to share expenses for things like cinema tickets and restaurant bills or small gifts; its not designed for anything more than that.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Were not trying to compete with national banking systems. This is not somewhere to pay your gas or rent he said.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">To receive any cash you send to a friend they just have to accept the Buxter application and enter an email address.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">That friend will then be free to transfer the money to any of their friends or into their bank account if they wish.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Buxter is the application that will see Facebook members use the platform not just as a way to stay in touch, but also as a fast, easy and secure way to exchange money or buy and sell products or services said Charles Fraenkl, chief executive of ClickandBuy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The only currencies offered by the service at the moment are US dollars and Euros but support for the UK pound will be added in the coming weeks.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">It will be interesting to see how many Facebook users end up using it.</p>

Hulu’s days as a destination for free online video may be numbered.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The once-groundbreaking video-on-demand website may not be able to run on pre-roll ads alone, which don’t generate as much revenue as broadcast commercials. And the obvious alternative — charging subscription or pay-per-view fees to viewers — is likely to simply drive them back to live TV or DVR use ...</p>

Hulus days as a destination for free online video may be numbered.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The once-groundbreaking video-on-demand website may not be able to run on pre-roll ads alone, which dont generate as much revenue as broadcast commercials. And the obvious alternative  charging subscription or pay-per-view fees to viewers  is likely to simply drive them back to live TV or DVR use.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Comedy Centrals decision to revoke its content from Hulu is just the latest blow to the site, which has struggled to support itself with ads. This will reduce traffic as viewers look elsewhere online for Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and other Comedy Central personalities. The inevitable addition of usage fees for consumers will only serve to reduce that traffic even further.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Hulu, in the end, may have innovated itself out of existence, certainly as it was envisioned. Adding a fee structure could attract new and potentially better content  but the Hulu that users fell in love with will be gone, replaced with another Amazon Unbox, iTunes or Netflix.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Will Hulu be just another footnote in the expansive history of online applications? Stay tuned.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1474" title="storageLede" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/storageLede.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="90" />The move to virturalization leaves stone is  being left unturned. It touched the public network via EC2 (and now a  host of hosts) it formed the Cloud and fused a new generation of the  Internet.  Service orientated also hits the data centers and this means  things like switches, servers, and disk.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">At the core of the movement of virtualization movement is freedom of  the physical environment.  Optimize hardware performance and set the  workload free.  In the process of doing this, a promise of cost savings  has set a off a storm in re-factoring the data center.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">This is the first in a series of posts taking a look at areas of the  data center and how an openness strategy become a driver for winning  customers by bringing costs down.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">We took a look at the storage landscape from the eyes of <a href="http://www.hds.com/">Hitachi Data Systems</a>, &#8220;HDS&#8221;.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1475" title="HDS_Yu" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/HDS_Yu.jpg" alt="" width="131" height="90" />We spoke with <a href="http://blogs.hds.com/hu/">Hu  Yoshida</a>, CTO of HDS.  He gave us a practical overview on how the  needle of enterprise costs are being reduced focusing on reducing  operational costs.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">One thing the he mentioned was that Hitachi&#8217;s HDS division was able  to grow in the storage business in this tough climate, which is amazing  considering it is an industry that follows economic spending as a whole.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Yoshida attributes part of this to HDS decision to deliberately  disrupt their own &#8220;closed&#8221; box solution where storage and management are  sold together.  This allows IT shops to have more choice, and decouple  vendors.  He said that this was a big decision for the company, as it  opened up more competition to a core business.</P></p>
<h2><strong>Protocol vs. API</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1476" title="hitachiLogoMar2010" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/hitachiLogoMar2010.jpg" alt="" width="145" height="75" />Yoshida said that the team at  HDS decided it was inevitable for this protocol level standardization  to exist. His team felt that HDS needed to be a leader in this  opportunity.  He cited a customer that uses an HDS head as a management  function that had NetApp behind it as a pattern they supported that  several years ago would have been done by partnership rather than  protocol level support.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Although in this scenario HDS didn&#8217;t win &#8220;all tiers&#8221; of this storage  solution, it was able to be a fabric and join a customer that &#8220;loves  NetApp&#8221; and loves HDS too.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Mr. Yoshida said that his company decided to fully embrace the  protocol level integration with the surrounding systems, instead of only  releasing only APIs, as a means to allow more competition &#8211; and  cooperation in the ecosystem through technology rather than selective  partnerships.</P></p>
<h2><strong>Considering the Tiers</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify">An area of storage that is ripe for cost savings is supporting different  types of solutions, e.g. production vs. development and classes of  storage based on the application.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1477" title="HitachiCubeSquare" src="http://www.newellandbudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/HitachiCubeSquare.jpg" alt="" width="212" height="215" />In  his blog post, <a href="http://blogs.hds.com/hu/2010/01/new-considerations-for-tiered-storage.html#more-1907">New  Considerations for Tiered Storage</a>, Hu examines reduction of costs.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Looking under the covers we see that there is a lot of questions to  ask in the details of these strategies, and marketing matters in how  solutions are perceived and how different types of hardware (for example  Seagate vs. HDS) make a difference for buyers, and that to be a leader,  it is key to have answers across the industry ecosystem.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">When we look at the decision being on moving the cost needle down for  operations management instead of hardware savings, it becomes clear  that playing nicely pays. HDS is a company that plays on both sides of  the storage spectrum (management layer and disk) and it&#8217;s partnerships  include relationships with HP (as OEM) and companies like Cisco and  Brocade as go-to-market partners.  It is tempting to &#8220;hardwire&#8221;  solutions together, but it is a bigger win when instead these are  loosely coupled and partner-ready.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Looking at it from the angle of cost reduction for open standards  gives the pivot point to consider this natural tension offered by  virtualization has a promise binding vendors together to optimize their  solutions for the plug-and-play data center.</P></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Does an open protocol powered data center reduce total costs? IBM,  HP, Cisco, NetApp, Oracle&#8230;Hitachi thinks so, do you?</P></p>
