DreamForce Crowd Conversation
Unconference for Dreamforce - Be a force in the Crowd - Join me @furrier
John Furrier
I love the Uber business model! So compelling on so many levels
John Furrier
they have two customers: drivers and riders
John Furrier
Travis just suggested they favor drivers not riders
John Furrier
Much better living than driving a taxi being uber driver says CEO Uber
John Furrier
License scarcity has been b-school case study for generations; finally someone like Travis takes it on
John Furrier
Taxi drivers are living in Plato's Cave
John Furrier
Uber fills the gaps economically for drivers says Travis ceo uber
John Furrier
Uber has so much geo location data - @benioff ask that question uplevel this convo pls
John Furrier
"we built Uber bc taxi industry was broken" says Travis CEO of Uber
John Furrier
Uber CEO "didn't know it (uber) was going to work..it was a dream"
Crowd Captain
say @DanielHoeBr Daniel G Horner Hoe
We started cold calling limo services in SF - @Uber CEO #startup #DF15
Brian Sommer
But when will @benioff quiz @Uber CEO Travis on data privacy/collection activities by Uber?
Dennis Howlett
Our take on IoT #df15 http://diginomica.co...
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very IoT Cloud - diginomica
Marc Benioff's intelligent toothbrush was only the beginning. Salesforce pitches into the Internet of Things (IoT) with its very own cloud.
Dennis Howlett
Most conversations I hear on IoT are vague with customers unclear what they're trying to get out of the idea of IoT integration. There's plenty going on in manufacturing so how will SF respond?
John Furrier
. @dahowlett what does beta mean for SF? Do they have a shot at this? what's your take?
John Furrier
Love the 3 planks of SF #IoT: 1) Providing the ability to listen to wealth of data generated by the IoT or any other data source by capturing billions of events that occur daily
Dennis Howlett
- no different to any other beta. In that context you could almost regard last year's Wave announcements in the same way. Only now coming to mainstream. In IoT terms though they have time. This is not fully baked.
John Furrier
plank 2: Triggering actions based on real-time rules using simple and intuitive tools
John Furrier
plank 3: Enabling proactive one-to-one engagement through Salesforce allowing actions to be taken via any of the other clouds in the portfolio
Dennis Howlett
@furrier The big issue though is what 'bits' of IoT data matter in the context of real time actions? More marketing?
John Furrier
What is the status of Wave? Chatter has not been doing well from a sw perspective from what I hear
Dennis Howlett
@furrier We really need to hear the updates. I was skeptical about Wave last year. See: http://diginomica.co...
Vinnie Mirchandani
Travis is bringing out a sympathetic view of life from a taxi driver pov. good to hear. not sure insurance co, cops etc make it as easy for them #df15
John Furrier
. @dealarchitect taxi drivers who don't own their own license are just a cog in the wheel not making much money
Crowd Captain
hey @dealarchitect @furrier Travis is in rare form on stage
Crowd Captain
Uber pool is good bus dev strategy and great for sales folks
John Furrier
I am creating a UNCONFERENCE for all the people not attending Dreamforce to crowd source a new digital experience - virtual and social
John Furrier

John Furrier
Dennis is in the house
John Furrier
Do you want to schedule some chats throughout the week ??
Dennis Howlett
I think the main one needs to be around MBs keynote
de-cen-tra-liz-ed
1st integration attempt > inconclusive
Brian Sommer
Thunder has a Microsoft partnership. Each MSFT email, for example, is an event that Thunder will examine.
Dennis Howlett
would you say this is Duet but one that works?
Brian Sommer
This Thunder technology must be what Microsoft's using to nag me about a Windows 10 upgrade......
Crowd Captain

Salesforce launching an #IoT cloud http://siliconangle....
Salesforce IoT Cloud puts machine-generated data in the hands of business users
Salesforce.com Inc. is kicking off its annual customer summit this morning with the introduction of a brand new cloud platform that bolsters its sales orchestr
John Furrier
how does sales orchestration suite blend with #iot sounds like trendjacking to me.. where's the beef?
John Furrier
Salesforce getting into customer service support with the physical world - a big leap but a good direction
Dennis Howlett
Now we see funds moving via phone, I wonder if NSA will want access to WU and SF servers?
Vinnie Mirchandani
more than the NSA, for anti-laundering bunch of other agencies interested
Dennis Howlett
@dealarchitect and we already know how aggressive those agencies can be
Vinnie Mirchandani
Is the John Tascheck panel on future of CRM not being streamed? #df15
John Furrier
we are picking up the main feed
Jeff Frick
> not sure how many feeds they're supporting
Vinnie Mirchandani
Having run a marketplace before, getting buyer/seller interests to align, and pumping liquidity into market are so difficult. Uber has done both well #DF15
John Furrier
I agree now they need to continue to do the #bigdata and scale up the backend ops
John Furrier
. @dealarchitect Uber goal - every car Ubered - solves traffic problem.
