Oracle can’t get blogging respect

April 26, 2007 By

Justin Kestelyn (he is Editor in Chief of Oracle’s Technology Network) lays out a decent argument that Oracle isn’t getting any blogging respect.

He’s got a point, although I am subscribed to Oracle’s blogs for my link blog, which is how I saw this post.

So, why doesn’t Oracle get any respect? I can’t remember when they did what JD did — link out to people and join the conversation. I can’t remember getting an invite to any Oracle blogging event (Microsoft, Sun, SAP, Salesforce.com, and Adobe are all companies who’ve invited a variety of bloggers over for a meet — it’s no wonder to me why they get more blog coverage).

I’d love to come over to Oracle with my video camera and learn about its business.

    One of the application bloggers over there talks about his one year blog anniversary and how the five application bloggers have 8.3 million page views. That seems like a good number to me. I can only dream of ever getting to that level.

    But it was a most excellent tool delivered at a difficult time for a wide- eyed new company with a brand new first employee on the payroll. With this simple machine and lots and lots of great work, I’ ve helped grow that fresh company through those furious days to what is now arguably a mini empire. This little machine gave its all nearly 20 hours a day. In the office, on the road, client after client. For my personal duties, drag- racing projects , in the garage, sometimes in the rain. Conditions that…
