Now, Oracle Applications Unlimited, IMO, has been one of Oracle's more successful customer-communication programs. In the early days of the Oracle-PeopleSoft-JD Edwards integration, the support and investment policies for "traditional" (that is, non-Fusion) apps were murky and plagued by FUD; Oracle Applications Unlimited played a major role in draining that swamp.

A recent post about Oracle Unbreakable Linux adoption ("Oracle's Unbreakable Linux not denting Red Hat"), certainly a rainmaker on Twitter, was brought to mind while I was authoring my previous post about awareness of Oracle Unbreakable Linux.There's a lot of stuff in there - which Wim Coekaerts himself more than adequately has addressed - but I'm going to limit myself here to the purported results of a Piper Jaffray survey on which Matt's post is largely based (which I...

Thus, you can take the API from one social network, and perhaps a few others, and blend the information extracted with corporate information, such as sales data, to spot trends in what's being Twittered and what's being sold....
