Thanks to Anne Zelenka for her nice summary of Oracle's recent activities in the social media world at GigaOm.

Anne, you conclude with a thought about "how these various social web efforts might change Oracle's way of of working." The "Welcome to Change" session that Marius Ciortea, Paul Pedrazzi, and I did on Monday offers a lot of information in that area. It is definitely doing so, yes - on a number of levels. Check out the video!

Ed Abbo, VP Development for "Applications Unlimited" apps (basically everything excepting Fusion Apps), gave a knock-out keynote yesterday that has been resonating in some corners of the blogosphere. You can view it here in its entirety; there are some killer demos in here - including CRM on Demand social apps based on the OpenSocial API.

Larry Ellison may have more comments about this process in his keynote, to be delivered within minutes.

You can do that from here now (and read the doc). Guest templates for Oracle and Linux TBD soon.

I also recorded an awesome podcast with Kurt Hackel, Oracle VM's primary architect, at the OTN Lounge.
