I find that I have to do more searching in Google to find companies phone numbers and website addresses when I am using SalesForce, which is a pain in the @$$, cause when I go thru the leads, I automatically thought that all of them would already have all the contact info provided either by the SalesForce bot or Wanted analytics crawler, when they crawl across the web...

But let’s not forget it’s a limitation as well, taking into account force.com users don’t cover the whole audience out there. And LongJump is developed for programmer utilization. I would consider of more challenge here such vendors like Coghead or TeamDesk.net, not LongJump, as long as they provide solutions for non-techie users, thus being more in demand.

Its new feature, Eclipse IDE, is really a great feature. But I agree with your concluding statement that we have to give some time to it to see whether it will be able to create an impact or not.

I think both offerings are innovative and provides great tools to develop PaaS apps (and gives you lots more flexibility then force), but IMO one of the less talked about issues for PaaS developers is not the ease of development rather its the ease of the go-to market - in order words, how the PaaS vendor can support your marketing, credibility and provides a brand that you can leverage. At the end of the day, when you tell your customers and partners that your app is built and hosted @ force.com, they know who is behind it and what level of SLA they can deliver.

I'm not sure how the market is divided by all the PaaS providers, but Bungee certainly seemed good for the recreational and professional markets. Knowing SalesForce/Force.com, they'd still be going after the SMB and enterprise markets. So, I think there's room for some of the players out there. Overall, I think the PaaS industry will become very interesting in a year. JP http://www.convos.com I had a chance to check out Bungee at the Web 2.0 Expo and thought it looked very useful.
