00:10 Jason Atwood: This is the 94th episode of CloudFocus Weekly for the second week of June 2012. This episode is titled, Check out the MVP. Cops, we get sponsored by Arkus, your craft of experts. I'm your host, Jason Atwood. Joining me is the cohost and the happiest man, on the planet for the 9-1-1. He's shaking his head saying, why is he so happy? Why are you happy? I don't know. Because I can't give you crap about being an MVP anymore. Ah.

Justin Edelstein: So there's that. You know, I found two things. with the little intro speech that you just did. It's an odd month, it's the second week, but it's only, we're recording this on the 7th. It's kind of an odd thing.

Jason Atwood: We go by business week. So I don't know why I just noticed that. Last week we recorded on a Friday, it was June. You can't say it wasn't the first week of June because we were, we went first day of June last week. Yeah, yeah, so this is the first full the end of the first full week

Justin Edelstein: Of June I guess and the second the second thing was you know, I I actually titled this one I don't usually titled the that's John casts and I titled it check out the MVP Because we usually blur a couple of the stories in our agenda And one of them the ranks of the MVP community in Salesforce. Wait a second. First of all, are you giving away our secret sauce and how we name our podcast? I think people realize this at this time. Okay. But the check out the MVP, we were going to talk about AppExchange checkout being live. Ah. We sort of scratched that from the agenda. So I'm going to mention it briefly.

Jason Atwood: Just so that it doesn't really just try to pull attention to the MVP part of it. Yeah.

Justin Edelstein: So AppExchange checkout's live. Check it out. Okay, all right done. Yeah, so thank you to everybody and a big thanks out to Zach I think nominated me.

Jason Atwood: I think you nominated me once I've nominated you before but obviously obviously you had as much pull as nothing So yeah, I am an official I got news this week. I'm an official member of the Salesforce MVP Crew welcome.

Justin Edelstein: Yes, we welcome you six of them or is there more that there are in the portals like 90 some out of them I think pretty much have to be in the portal You're gonna be a salesforce MVP kind of their salesforce MVP is there's force.com MVP, right? There you go But yeah, why don't you explain the program sure so I care about it now and so, you know very briefly it's a community of influencers, salesforce users, salesforce consultants, salesforce a lot of user group leaders, people who evangelize about the salesforce and force.com platform, bloggers, podcasters, people who are very active on Twitter. Salesforce Geeks. Salesforce Geeks. People who are active on Twitter, people very active on the ideas community, very active on the answers community.

Jason Atwood: Very active in Quora with the most answers in Quora? No. Sure, maybe.

03:15 Justin Edelstein: But yeah, just people like you and I, and it's a one year thing. You're in the club for a year, and then you get renewed. I actually just got my renewal notice. Congratulations for getting renewed. So my second going on. Second year of being in the program. I could have think of another, you know, backslap I just.

Jason Atwood: The and a, and a We've seen people get hired because of this, I must say at Five Drop offers to run four more podcasts. In fact, I was gonna start another one called Just Us MVPs. No, just kidding. Anyway, so that's cool. Oh du jour, which is the day, but of the week, which I don't know how to say in French. Me neither. So, which was the blogmaster spun his magic dial. I did. And round and round it went and it popped up on me. It's actually much more organized than that.

Justin Edelstein: This week I... So we'd like you to thank me.

Jason Atwood: Because then you could win twice in a row, but you don't. And so the post this week was......... and... Custom built that it We basically monitor all our stuff in Salesforce. We eat our own dog food. and I basically, but since Chatter's come out, we have embraced Chatter as part of the project cycle. Basically, we have a couple things that we do, and one of them is really using it for project statuses. So we put our project status notes in chatter as we do them, and it gives people who are following the project basically stay in touch. And it reminds me of when I worked for that. and I Excel documents, I think someone spent probably half their life updating. and I just remember it so very visually. They had these statuses for the projects like red, green, blue, red, green, you know, good, bad, ugly, whatever it was.

07:44 Jason Atwood: I remember almost all the time these projects would be in red, like horrible, right? Which is supposed to be like everybody, man on deck, here we go. And we just go over them and go, oh, products on red. Okay, next project. It was like nothing to do about it. Anyway, so we used Chatter and I think... you know, we like it- I mean we like using it's a good use case. You know sales is an easy use case. Customer management support is an easy use case. We get tickets from our two products, but we don't get a ton good because they're well done.

Justin Edelstein: And so we don't use. That a lot of projects. It's sort of the core of what we do. Yeah, so it's part of our process to every time a new project spun up. Everybody follows every project. It's one of those things with chatter like what to follow what not to follow Who to follow? Well, we follow each other sure, but projects is one of those objects that Any any new active project? I immediately follow it right?

Jason Atwood: A, you should, and if I see someone isn't following, I'll mention them. Yeah, I'll mention them. Hey,

Justin Edelstein: I created this today, you should follow it. It's some of the features I'd like to see.

Jason Atwood: Auto-following and auto-unfollowing. Love to see that. I know there's an auto-unfollow package. We tried it, it just didn't work. It'd be nice if you could just configure that declaratively.

Justin Edelstein: Like you can write triggers and things. I'd love for workflow rules to be able to allow me to just say, you know, whenever a new project is created, this group of people should follow it or something along those lines. And then when the status... changes to archive in our case right unfollow it right easy same thing we track all right I want to declaratively do that and

Jason Atwood: And same thing of clothes lost I don't want to I don't know how things are closed lost me neither or close one even goes one yeah I make it like a weekly

Justin Edelstein: Or biweekly task to go through all the list views of things that I don't care about anymore like things paid closed archive and just unfollow things. It's kind of an odd task to have to do. To unfollow stuff. I mean if the following limit was, you know, greater than 500 and it was like closer to 2500 or 5000 or something like that. I wouldn't care. I wouldn't care at all because nothing happens on those things anyway. So what? So I'm following them who cares. But because I have to actually keep an eye on that limit, which is crazy because... Our org doesn't have that many people or data or much data in it. I I Salesforce All those Hs. And all that sales activity. I And I assume that they probably- Maybe they use groups really well.

Justin Edelstein: I think they probably upped things a lot too. you Combed, to read the latest blog post. I know where you hit it. You hit it in the Dreamforce app.

10:56 Jason Atwood: So as I was following a bunch of new people, I hit it and I went, wow, oh, there you go. and I went back and had to unfollow some people, actually unfollowed Sassy and what was the other one, Chatty? and probably chassis and set and I was like yeah I'm not following any people anymore.

Justin Edelstein: Interesting enough I see a lot of duplicate people so people who are answering twice. There's an issue with the with the app that you know if you move companies you basically have to you have to have a second user like you lose your first user there's something about the email address like you can't just change it it's yeah there's something with it that you can't. You can't just change your email address in the org. glared so you essentially if you move companies you have to you have to create a brand new user and you lose all those things that you were following and all your followers etc.

Jason Atwood: Speaking of Dreamforce. Speaking of. Just a little bit of news then we'll get into some hard hitting news. We got our booth for this year. So you know I think from time to time we'd like to bring in a little bit of what's upheas up to. We went through the sweepstakes. of trying to get a booth, which is, again, I joked last year, and I've joked many times, I've never seen a bunch of grown men working business people running down the halls of the Masconi Senator ready to give someone these huge checks, like, please take my money, I'm gonna' run to you to give, like, most places you go, you're gonna' spend that kind of money. That's it for today. you know, they'll, they come to you. You know, if you go to a restaurant, we're gonna, very fancy a restaurant, you don't have to run to get in line.

Jason Atwood: Like, they'll, they'll come to you. So, but part of that process was that the earlier you get track signed, and basically signed the last, in August, the booth selection you get earlier, pick. just the reason that you do it. So we're in booth 334.

Justin Edelstein: It's a really good booth. I'm- It's a good booth. I'm excited about it. We sat there, we agonized over it. You and I- Yes. You and I in front of a selector screen and did some analysis as we were known to do. And selected- People should know that we spend that much. We selected, I think, the ideal location.

Jason Atwood: I think we got the best booth. I really do.

Justin Edelstein: I really agree with that. So when you told me the number we got I was ecstatic. I. I know I literally told you because I thought you'd be excited.

Jason Atwood: So anyway come visit us in four months at booth 334. I'm sure we'll mention it before. Anyway we'll be designing it until then. Interesting yeah interesting enough. It's a all the booth designs are different this, year. They're very different from last year. As we get closer, I'll ask what I can do about stuff. I mean, again, I think it'd be, be interesting for people. They might want to see how that process goes, like how we design the booth. And then maybe we can share the, share it. Maybe we can share it on the blog. Maybe we can do a blog post about, you know, prepping for a dream force, a sponsor. Sounds like a good one. There you go. So anyway, there, there we is and there we will be. What's next? Google.

13:58 Justin Edelstein: What did they do? They bought somebody.

Jason Atwood: They bought Quick Office. What is Quick Office? So Quick Office is an app for the iPhone and iPad. Okay. That is basically the competitor to the one. If you go into search for Google Docs, like you want to get offline viewing, there's two that come up. The one you mentioned the other week. My app pick of the week. GoDocs. Pretty nice app. And used. little enough, like, it's nice, it's just you can see that the people who don't have like style,- like it's functional, but it doesn't have like style.

Justin Edelstein: The folder thing that it does. Yeah, but other than that, it works.

Jason Atwood: And the other one is this app, Quick Office. Yep. So, but interesting that, you know, for us who use Google Docs a lot. interesting to see them go down a path of buying out these, you know, there's always been this thing. I guess this actually could spin into what we forgot to put on the agenda, which is sort of the mapping war now, which is that there's a lot of articles pointing to a split up between Google and Apple that you know had a relationship have been been buds for a long time. But they're starting to get more and more into each other's face. Like, and it started with, as Steve Jobs, I think, said, RIP, as he said, you know, like, we didn't get into the search business. They got into the phone business.

Jason Atwood: And it's kind of true. Like, Google was not in any kind of mobile phone business or mobile operating system business and yet they did. So now, it's getting more and more sort of like they're crossing. Apple is supposedly gonna release their entirely own... Mapping system and Google just announced two days ago that they're they have their own new cool 3d mapping So like there's like a new mapping war going on mapping huh?

Justin Edelstein: Yeah maps and where's Bing in this whole situation? Where this map quest? Yeah, I don't know nowhere Do you add you honestly do you ever go to my quest anymore? I've never I haven't gone there in the longest time It was so funny. I play softball on Sunday mornings and we were playing at a field that we never played at before and it was I play in Queens and this one was sort of in Brooklyn and it was a place I couldn't even find it so someone was like here's someone on the email thread sent the directions from from his house to it and he said oh Google ones but you might want a map quest that they might have different I was like, no, I don't think I will. I would never back with it.

Justin Edelstein: I think you just sent me what I needed. Thank you very much.

Jason Atwood: Oh, yeah. I mean, I think the interesting piece, and again, we're kind of going off on a red hole here. Where did this start? This was all about quick office. Yeah, because I think because I had actually forgotten about it. And it's actually more, it's a bigger thing because we're talking about this divorce between these two become. Wasn't this like.

Justin Edelstein: Google we talked about this a couple months back where Google is gonna be charging now for the usage of their mapping API So you have the iPhone or the iOS platform? They were gonna migrate away from, you know, they always said the big thing when they came out right there like it's Google's Mapping API with our beautiful presentation on top of it now I I guess they're gonna go to their own beautiful maps

17:13 Jason Atwood: With their own beautiful presentation on top of it. It's one of those things that you just think about in terms of like division of labor. Why should two companies be building two separate maps?

Justin Edelstein: The core of it should be the same. The data is the data. That's a commodity. That should not be. That should not be. You know, fine, the features and the functions that you, the presentation of it, fine. Well, like the actual data, I mean, come on. I mean, I guess Google does go through a lot, right? They did the whole street view thing. That's a lot of work to drive

Jason Atwood: Around with the cameras and do all that stuff. So they're doing a hiking one where they're actually gonna, they have a backpack cam and they're gonna map. Pretty cool. I mean, remember we were talking about the Amazon river.

Justin Edelstein: I mean, they do some, and that's expensive stuff. That's pretty neat. But just to... bring this back. So, bring this back to the office thing. And what I'm reading about it is that this is really a way to handle office documents. So, editing, viewing, doc, PDF, or not PDF, PPT, XLS, things of that nature. So, this more than likely ties into like the Google I ave offering. Right. So you're not necessarily. editing a Google Doc, you're editing a Dot doc that happens to be sitting on the Google Drive. Right. Is this application perhaps? Yeah. Yeah That was question mark. It was a question mark.

Jason Atwood: Yeah answer That certainly sounds like where it's going no, you know, I think Google's Google wants to get into this It's just I just find it interesting that you know, they're crossing over, they will rely upon each other and this is so you know Google has their own cloud offering, Apple does. I was just going to go back to the map sync for a bit. Maybe I'm obsessed. The one thing is Apple can build the most amazing mapping system that's on the iOS, iPhone, iPad. But at the end of the day, I do most my mapping. on, you know, like when I'm working for a hotel, or I'm doing it online. So unless they then build a web version of it, I mean, that's really where I get the time, is like when I'm searching for something, I search for a hotel, then I go to the street view, then I like, yeah, the one on the iOS, so I have an allegiance to them because I'm using them more.

Jason Atwood: We'll see how. I'm actually.

Justin Edelstein: You're the opposite. Yeah, I use maps more on the phone because I don't, like you, I don't have GPS or navigation in my car, so I use it to get me places. I don't really ask people, and I don't think anybody does anymore, like tell me how to get to your house. Oh right? Don't tell me how to get there. Just tell me if it's not in Google. Yeah, like tell me, like tell me if like I need, if there's like a gas station or something that I need to look out for to make a left at. But other than that, you know, I just want your address and I own quite a bit for, for that purpose a loan, the mapping. And to be honest, if Apple were to come out the their own mapping system on the phone fine just as long as it has everywhere that I need to go be there like if it doesn't have like you know cool boy stuff handled they've got the mass transit they've got the walking routes they've got all this stuff handle traffic you have the traffic like they better have all that stuff and I'll tell you right now I'm not going to apples online web browser based map thing using Google's right I don't Bing might be better than Google search I don't care like I'm I'm your man I use Google to search for things so I'm gonna search into that one box for a thing or a place right and Google's gonna find it whether it's a thing it's gonna find me that thing like salesforce formula or something Thanks for watching.

21:00 Justin Edelstein: Or a place it's gonna know right map. I don't think Apple can hand They don't have something to handle that I'd have to go somewhere specific Instead of like just typing something into my browser bar. Well, they remember they own the browser So they don't yeah, they own a browser. They own the browser you're using on your mobile platform on the mobile platform Sure, but again, that's just that's just opening the map application right that's different story I, I'm talking about my laptop. Yeah, I mean Sure, they could they could make apples I mean they couldn't really even do that like in Safari They couldn't just change the the search box to use Apple search. There's no such thing, right? So I don't know what they're gonna do there. Maybe they'll use, I dare say, Bing or MapQuest or somebody else's mapping API or what.

Justin Edelstein: I don't know. Google's got a lot invested in that traffic thing. I don't know how we got there, but... Speaking of investing a lot... Yeah, speaking of... Google has nothing to do with this next story.

Jason Atwood: How was that? It was good, right? Salesforce buys Buddy Media. So we discussed this, it was a rumor. It felt like it was true. And guess what? It's true. It is. There was rumors that came out. It was 800 million. It was 700 something million.

Justin Edelstein: There's now- 689. 689 for little appraise. Cash and stocks and all sorts of fun things in between. For those who missed the last podcast,

Jason Atwood: Buddy Media is a- Facebook management application. So for managing your Facebook presence, and again, I think we talked about this a little bit. About how that, you know, what that would mean and who would that be useful for, you know, corporations with many social media places that want to post things up, manage who's poking on it. Basically without having to go into Facebook and do it from there you could do it from- you know, place and basically do the measurements and all that stuff. That's what funny media does and I bought them. So Interesting story Go ahead go go ahead really go on at this point 94 episodes in you can say go ahead on I actually spoke to someone the other day at a local event Really ties in and they said what do you do?

Jason Atwood: And I said, oh, you know I usually say nothing.

Justin Edelstein: I say Salesforce.

Jason Atwood: And he goes, oh, they just bought Buddy Media. And I was like, whoa.

Justin Edelstein: And I said. How do you know that?

Jason Atwood: Apparently as a buddy who, a buddy who works for Buddy Media or one of the people like first 20 in or something. And he said, oh yeah. He says, well, nays, when they integrate that in the Salesforce, come talk to me. I'm really interested. it. Hmmm. I know, so this is a good story. So I was like, okay, I'll come talk to you in a year and a half when Dreamforce 13, when they announce it, when it actually rolls out. So I guess there's an article here that we kind of referenced, but on Fool.com, Motley talking about is it a good idea. Now there are a lot of folks really talking more about you know shares and share prices and investing. You know from the now that you've had a little more chance to read up on it from the technical side or from the product mix thoughts.

24:14 Justin Edelstein: I'm gonna just read the headline of this article. Okay. Okay sounds good. To preface my my thoughts. God focus for people who don't want to read articles. Salesforce strays from core competency and dabbles in social media. and They're redefining their core. and they're not straying from their core. They're redefining their core as we speak right Now we can discuss if we agree or disagree with the fact that they're redefining their core and moving from CRm to you know platform to Social platform. Platform and what that really means But you know, I think they're stuck in The innovators dilemma I'm sure you've heard of this book. If not, you've read it. I have not you should read it the innovators dilemma I had to just go read up on who was by Clayton Christensen and I've read this book and essentially, and I've read this book and and I've read this book and and I've read this book and=-=- Pat leadership at the very top Mark Benioff is saying social is the future mobile social cloud we're doing it but we're going to collect the assets to be able to we've been painting this picture for a year and a half.

Justin Edelstein: We haven't been able to really deliver truly an enterprise platform at that point and one could argue it wasn't right couldn't handle can scale right could do a lot of things and now it's getting there and it's years later it's like for five years later so this whole vision of this horseshoe thing is gonna take a while but they're collecting me assets And to me, redefining the core of what they are as we are watching this, I'm full. Yeah, and I- I think they're- I mean, they're always tying it back into what their core is.

27:28 Jason Atwood: And I think that's what's interesting is because they're not just saying, Social is cool, we're gonna go build a social enterprise. We're gonna go build a social site. You know, that's- that's not what they're doing. They're saying, social is the way that people are He's connected social, you know, data.com, have them where other people are updating data, where data is flowing freely between these mental places, and then you might be augmenting that data in your instance of it, but your contact that you put in and that's the phone number that you know, that kind of theory is going away because, because we have these places where people are publishing all their stuff,

Justin Edelstein: And they, and our, and. People want to be engaged. What are their likes and dislikes list right? We need the groupings of of hunters and fishermen right well. They'll tell you right there. They're telling their friends So I again I I think this is more more than I said this last week,

Jason Atwood: So don't listen that podcast, but Was really more about they want to be them They want to build the platform to manage this social world right radiant sex is about monitoring This is about management, right? Twitter, the Twitter pieces, even though they're just pieces, are more about monitoring and interacting, right? So it's about taking in and giving back. Are they well done? I don't know what other discussion, but whatever, another talk, another day. But that's what it's sort of saying. It's like, you're still gonna sit inside your org, you still log into Salesforce. But... to pull in and push things and do it on a bigger scale than just individual tool because you want to manage it it. You want to are fast, great, but light. Next up in our last story is a kind of a kind of interesting the downer only because I predicted the It's halfway through the year!

31:10 Jason Atwood: Wait, halfway through the year! I got another six months! Okay, so R Was it Russian or Norwegian?

Justin Edelstein: I think it has an as of the date of when I was looking at this yesterday LinkedIn hasn't offered any statements they they did twist sorry they tweeted a few things that their team continues to investigate but at this time still unable to confirm anything So let's go to their little LinkedIn thing here. Basically the file for the 6 million things. There's another update, here we go. This was from yesterday. So they've sort of gone ahead and proactively, you know, anybody whose accounts were associated with compromised passwords, they can no longer log in. Their password. 3. pretty much been changed I guess. So go check if you can log in to LinkedIn. Yeah, don't go do, don't download this app. Yeah, don't do any apps, don't click any links from anywhere. Just go to LinkedIn and log in.

Justin Edelstein: If you can log in, great, you're on fine. If you can't log in,, okay, then you know something bad might in happen. You'll also receive an email from LinkedIn with instructions on how to reset your password. There will not be any links in that email. Really the same thing is saying that so if you get an email from LinkedIn with links to change your email Don't click those things because those are no good. It's the one without the link. It's the one without the link the link list LinkedIn That's what you want the link list LinkedIn email not the one with the links you'll get a second email from customer support providing a bit more context on the whole situation, so you'll get pretty much two emails. So they're apologizing, they take your security very seriously, and we're sorry.

Justin Edelstein: We're sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Jason Atwood: I mean, it's bound to happen. You know, I always think as I connect up these social networks and do stuff like that, I'm always thinking, oh, wow, should I be, you know, ooh. doing this or doing that and especially all the times like like, log in with, with your r Twitter and I always think like is there a barrier between, all these places that, I log in with my Twitter that if I log into my Twitter There you go.

Justin Edelstein: I'm looking at it and why you someone can find I really didn't it really didn't even the fact that one one bit

Jason Atwood: So on a side note kind of weird you'd think it would it's a public company on a side note I'm gonna give a little I want to give you the second boo. Well, it's too LinkedIn I got the, I got the, this is before they got hacked. Oh, I thought you were booing me. No, I got the- Why would you boo me? I got the note from them saying, would you like to upgrade to premium for free for a month? Premium? So I was like, sure. Like LinkedIn premium? Yeah, I mean, yeah, LinkedIn premium. I'm like, oh, you know what? I have always wanted to see. What that looks like.

34:30 Justin Edelstein: I put in the credit card and I

Jason Atwood: Wow and then you get to do that. Why would I not the Salesforce connector thing would be included.

Justin Edelstein: Yeah. I don't know. No. I don't actually know how the pricing for that sale works if it's user by user or if it's org wide. It must be org wide. Dude, do me a favor. No,

Jason Atwood: No it's not. It's user by user.

Justin Edelstein: Thing the thing that says the LinkedIn thing yeah upgrade to LinkedIn for Salesforce see what happens to you LinkedIn upgrade I did bounced out to LinkedIn what's up there was an unexpected error that prevented us from completing your I can't even upgrade if I want to I've been doing this for weeks now and I can't figure it out. That's pretty bad. Yeah. I was going to say a bad word, but- Then I decided not to. We are not explicit. That's no good. Anyway. Alright, so let's go onto our quad. Let's pick some good things.

Jason Atwood: Let's pick- I think I've picked your pick. No, you haven't. Do you search?

Justin Edelstein: No, but I don't think you K have. I'm picking you for a specific purpose.

Jason Atwood: The one that I showed you the other day?

Justin Edelstein: Anyway, let's go. I don't know. that's the reason. Happy Pick of the Week. You go first. There's a reason why I'm picking this. I'm picking Adobe reader for iOS Okay So we were we were sitting somewhere and we had this Someone needed to do this specific use case and then I needed to do it like a week later and I remembered Oh if I just I just get that app so I had a PDF

Jason Atwood: On my phone that I was able to Well, that's the thing. If you're in Safari, it opens up in Safari and gives you the link to open somewhere else. If you're in Mail, it just gives you the same thing and says, do you want to open this somewhere else? It doesn't say...you're not actually opening it in anything.

37:42 Justin Edelstein: I needed it to open it somewhere that I can then email it. Because I really just need to email it. So that was my use case. I had a PDF, I needed to email it. I was on my phone. And you couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I'd seen the other person do this. So I'm letting everyone else in on the wisdom that if you need to do this, you can download. I'm sure there's. So many others, but the Adobe reader for iOS, it's pretty good. PDF reader. It's Adobe. It's PDF. It's got to be free. Free. See? no dollars and a simple use case you got a PDF on your Mobile device your iPhone your iPad and you need to send it to somebody Open in Adobe Reader. There's an option to email it it composes an email for you you hit send it goes Beautiful thing.

Jason Atwood: Yeah as Mark Madrid as mark would say I have been using it since it came out it is The only thing that when you start to do that, what you realize is, oh, then it has a copy. Like I open up. Yeah, so it does keep a copy. It has a nice reading ability. Like I find reading PDFs in iBooks and I also read them in Kindle and I read them in this. I find that it's just, it's hard to like. You get so used to negotiating like an iBook or a Kindle and like how easy it is to negotiate Then you get to a PDF and you start to like try to swipe and move and you're like, ah It just doesn't it's like stopping me from doing the thing I want.
