Has Marc Benioff Been Selling Pre-IPO

Has Marc Benioff Been Selling Pre-IPO
Shares In Salesforce.com?
05/14/2004 03:14 PM
Just as the press is warming up to the idea of Salesfo rce.com's IPO, a reporter has notic ed some odd discrepancies in Salesforce's IPO filings suggesting that perhaps Marc Benioff has been selling off his shares (just as he's asking the public to buy into them) without making that clear in the filing. Selling off shares by insiders isn't a terrible thing but you rarely do it during the IPO (usually people wait) - though, even the Google IPO notes that insiders will be selling some of their shares. What's a concern in this case is that it's not at all clear what's really happening. All that's clear is the numbers don't match up. If Benioff has been selling shares, then that should be made clear in the filing as well. I'm not sure this is as serious as the reporter makes it out to be, but it is something that should be clarified - especially these days when everyone is so worried about corporate fraud.

Marc, a 26-year-old virgin information technology worker with excessive candor, is so full of love he's ready to burst. Will you be his receptacle?

Welcome to our world - Marc


Welcome to our world - Marc 06/22/2005 02:41 AM

I've wanted to start a Marc club for a while now - with Mark Cuban, Marc Andressen, Marc Benioff, Mark Fletcher and any other coolio Marc we can find. So it is with great warmth that I welcome Marc Andressen to our world - with his new 24 Hour Laundry product/service.

Unfortunately many people do not see his latest efforts as anything more than a desperate attempt at an oft failed, living in the shadows of his first and only accomplishment, kind of guy - to get attention by jumping on the bandwagon of social networking and video blogging.

Well I say "welcome"!

Have fun - now try and monetize those efforts. The world of Web 2.0 demands that you prove yourself. No more 'playing up to the VCs and investment bankers' - they don't matter anymore. The only thing that matters is delivering compelling experiences to end-users and supporting open standards.

As long as 24HL does that - I'm in favor of it. If not, then oh well. Marc's got other supporters as well - he deserves it. He's worked hard - and there's no reason to pick on him indiscriminately.

And as far as staying stealth - I guess Marc still thinks that being proprietary and closed is a good thing. Where I come from that's not a good sign, but let's give Marc the benefit of the doubt - shall we?

Lots of coolio stuff was in stealth for a while, like Rojo, Odeo, FM Publishing and even Google uses this technique. So why can't the inventor of modern day browsers do the same?

Oh and BTW Marc - my company Broadband Mechanics can do these jobs for you - very effectively - outsourced - for less money than it would cost you to do it in Silly Valley.

http://www.24hourlaundry.com/java-software-engineer/ - architect
http://www.24hourlaundry.com/user-interface/ - UI designer

Our expertise is exactly what you're building. And we'll make sure you're supporting ALL the latest open standards and efforts. So why not adapt at least one new trend that's evolved since you first got started - outsourcing?

VOIP: Be Very Afraid


VOIP: Be Very Afraid 05/05/2004 09:37 AM
Here's what Michael Powell had to say about voice over IP to the main cable industry trade show:

"If you're a big incumbent and you've sort of enjoyed a competitive advantage . . . you, in my opinion, ought to be terrified."  

"I think it's going to be the very, very best and biggest breakthrough in our ambitions and dreams about competition ever."

You tell 'em, Mike!  Seriously, Powell is dead-on here.  He understands what VOIP represents, and the significance of the regulatory issues it raises for the FCC.  As do the key FCC staffers, who I talk with periodically.

However, I've been disappointed that Powell's FCC has so far taken a nibbling, incremental approach to VOIP.  They are still putting off the hard issues, while addressing what look like easy cases.  In reality, those cases (like the AT&T petition the FCC recently denied) aren't so easy.  And the FCC's tentative, limited decisions will still be taken as definitive by those in the marketplace.  I'm convinced the FCC is committed to addressing the fundamental VOIP policy issues squarely, but that commitment needs to translate into action. 

A good indicator will be how quickly the FCC moves forward, either through formal decisionmaking or public activities, after the comment cycle on its major voice over IP proceeding closes at the end of June.


Afraid to Breath Out


Afraid to Breath Out 04/09/2004 05:30 PM

I love garlic but I love miniture garlic more.  What is miniture garlic?

I am not sure if they are really garlic but they are spicy and has that piercing and lingering taste similar to garlic.  In Korea, they are called Dal-lae.  They are sold at Korean markets but only for short period of time late spring/early summer.  They are hard to prepare too.  What you see above took my wife an hour.

Best way to eat them is raw with a touch of dressing made with soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper, sugar, and sesame oil.  Very very delicious if you like spicy food.  Only downside is that, as with garlic, breathing out calls for courage.

Hhhaaaa~ Y'aaaa~ll Dooo~ing? :-)

What The RIAA Is Really Afraid Of: Its
Own Demise


What The RIAA Is Really Afraid Of: Its
Own Demise
03/30/2005 06:50 AM
It's no secret that the RIAA has been known to fudge the numbers to prove their point that file sharing hurts sales. What was never entirely clear, however, was why they simply refused to believe any study that sugge sted file sharing could help sales. If anyone were interested in such studies, it should be the RIAA -- because they would show them a great way to increase sales (which should be their goal). However, Mark Cuban makes an excellent point about why the RIAA is acting the way they are, despite these studies. Even if sales are up, it's not the sales of RIAA members. Cuban suggests that sales are probably up, but it's the independent musicians who are making up the difference, while RIAA member sales are holding steady, or slightly decreasing. Remember, the RIAA represents the big music labels -- not the tiny ones. Almost everyone agrees that the real impact of file sharing is that it spreads the success outward. Rather than just a few mega-rockstars, you get many more successful musicians. The big record labels have built their business models on the idea of just a few mega-rockstars dominating the market. What this means, then, is that the RIAA members are losing marketshare. It's not overall sales that are down, it's just that the competition from smaller players is taking away sales from the big labels -- which is why that coalition of independent artists is supporting the Grokster side of the case. If this theory is true (and a lot of the evidence does seem to support it), then what the RIAA is really fighting about is not saving the recording industry. It's about saving the RIAA.
