New tools ease portal creation

this sounds a lot like Web Parts … “OnePage Inc. and Enfish Corp. each released new software to enable corporate users to organize corporate information in portals … OnePage’s Content Connect Studio doesn’t replace portal frameworks from other companies; it augments them with the capability to create, manage and integrate portlets (pieces of code that capture and embed data) into many enterprise portal platforms”

Excite@Home … “announced today that it has received formal notification
from Cox and Comcast that they will exercise their rights under their
existing distribution agreements with the company to terminate those
agreements effective June 4, 2002. The company is continuing to engage in
discussions with Cox and Comcast concerning alternative arrangements for the
continued provision of the company’s broadband Internet service to

Salesforce to record $25 million in revenue

not bad for an ASP “… privately held Salesforce has 2,800 companies that pay it to manage about 50,000 people worldwide, and it is on track to record some $25 million in revenue this year. “The quality of our revenue is special because it’s an annuity, so we know within 1 [percent] to 2 percent what we’ll have in revenue next month,” he says. The company has cash on hand to take it to breakeven early next year, Benioff says. “Our gross margins are on the order of 70 percent, and we could break even sooner, but we are investing in R&D, marketing, branding and increasing our enterprise capability.”

Trillian IM

Trillian is an IM client, which currently supports AOL IM, ICQ, MSN
Messenger, IRC, and Yahoo! Messenger. It’s just over a year old and after
using it for a week it feels more stable than any Jabber client I’ve used
and worth the download if you need to cross-IM with people. (sorry dave, no
mac client ;-)
