Our first week is over on TechcrunchIT and it has been a busy one. Steve Gillmor and I spent time with Salesforce, Sun, at Velocity with a super-smart guy about to join Twitter and with two other smart guys who have a new Javascript platform called SproutCore that Apple has taken a keen interest in.
It was also a big week for Open Source as a business as we heard about rapid growth at RedHat and MySQL now at Sun talking about their $100M revenue rate, strong growth and future plans.
The cloud is getting more crowded and competitive with a serise of announcements this week starting with Cloudstatus, new stuff at Mosso and a new cloud-based video encoding platform.
Bill Gates finished his last fulltime day at Microsoft and we wrote up a list of things he can now get around to now that he has all that time on his hands, while Steve analyzed the future at a Microsoft now without Gates.

I love the “downgrade to XP” as part of Bill’s to do list!
Perhaps Steve Jobs is gunna ask Bill to be in one of the PC vs Mac commercials where Bill plays PC.
You watch a lot of late night TV.

I know I’m not the only one asking now:

Nick,
Nice posts. Your blogging(writing) style is close to that of Mike. Am sure TCIT would go a long way.
I just started with the latest one and went on to read your first one dated to June23rd.
Hmmm…. I need to check one more site daily, apart from TC.
Good job…
FYI : I use TC Tool bar. You might want to update the logo for TCIT. ( just thought will let you know )
Cheers, Nag

Nice job with TechCrunchIT.
My blog on IT companies in Israel - Israel Innovation 2.0 - supplements it fairly well. This week, I’ll be posting interviews with an Israeli company that is making smartphones and other mobile devices more secure, and an Israeli company that is revolutionizing process management as we know it.
In the past few months I’ve covered IBM’s acquisitions of XIV, Diligent Technologies and FilesX; and featured Check Point, Amdocs, and many other Israeli companies.
Check out my blog if you want to learn how Israeli companies fit into the IT scene - http://www.itgumbo.com/IsraelInnovation20/
Thanks Mike. Nice seeing you at TechCrunchIT. Great job!
Still no jobs posted (or very few) for the bay area. Has TC lost its cool for Jobs or we fucked in the bay?
