The End Of Software, Until It's Profitable For Us
from the what's-that-tagline? dept
Interesting. For a couple of years now, Salesforce.com has been promoting their hosted subscription model as the "death of software". They even have a little graphic on their website with the word "software" in a red circle with a line through it. So... how is it that they're suddenly selling a software product? That's not clear. They're just calling the product their "Offline Edition" and they're very careful never to actually call it software. It appears that the death of software has been greatly exaggerated...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
