"Austin-based Caringo, a developer of object-based storage software for the data storage industry, announced this morning that it has received $5M in a new series of funding."

"One of my most favorite lead gen programs I worked on was about 10 years ago when I was VP of marketing for a knowledge management start-up."

"When I talk about the content experience, I'm talking about the comprehensive experience over the long-term complex buying process. Do you think about that big picture view or are you still focused on one touch at a time?"

"It was a bit easier to conduct win/loss calls when I did them alone in my role as a product marketer. I'd get the list of wins, losses, or inactive accounts and just try to catch people with a phone call. Many times I'd find that people were willing to talk to me at that moment, and if not, they almost always agreed to set up a specific time within the next few days. It was rare that anyone would say "no" to my request."

"When you identify this absolute link between the sin of Adam and the death of Christ on the Cross, you realize the subtleness of Satan’s work, too. For if he openly attacked the Cross, we pastors would be up in arms! But Satan came in the back door and attacked the credibility of the Genesis record, and through false science brought a view into the church that undermines the authority of Scripture. When Christian leaders question the accuracy of the text, a literal six-day creation, and a young earth, this indirectly undermines the Cross!"

"And finally: the schedule makes it clear when the day is over. Nothing is left open-ended. When I complete the last block I turn off, and I go away. Very clear line between working and not working. Better time with the family, better sleep, better mental health. Which means that when I am working, I work better."

"For its $1.2 billion in cash, Nokia Siemens Networks (NYSE:NOK, NYSE:SI) gets Motorola’s (NYSE:MOT) broad range of wireless network technologies ranging from CDMA to WiMax as well as an established customer base for those products that brought in $3.7 billion in revenues last year. But while the new customers are important to NSN, just as important to the vendor are the technology decisions those same customers make in a few years' time."

"What's happened is that in trying to sound more impressive than our competitors, we've stacked vague phrase upon vague buzzwords and achieved mediocrity. Um, maybe worse. In trying to steer away from what we know best – our products – we've landed in this nowhere zone of ambiguous statements."
