Salesforce/Twitter stumps even @karaswisher

I could see the social/data side. Plus gives them a real time alternative to Slack. The not-linkedin purchase

$CRM provides marketing and customer service tools, so decent angle

def. also Bret taylor

marketing to whom? Makes no sense

if you are a CRM customer, which is a lot of big/small businesses, you can manage marketing campaigns on their platform

No number of acquisitions can save Salesforce's core product, which is a bloated mess. Better to diversify?

heh

who are you marketing to on twitter? if twitter was a good platform for marketers it wouldn't be for sale

? they are doing $2.5B in revenue from advertising/marketing

slowing ad growth stalled user base. They're not selling b/c things are great

what he said

no one ever sells because things r great. but acquirers buy because they believe they can make things better.

and what he said!

right. It could be awesome, if sales force was in a different business? But it is not. Nonsensical.

It's not nonsensical at all

Instagram + whatsapp sold because things were great and the offers were even greater

that was then

also peeps at Instagram regret selling too early

$19b for whatsapp is unprecedented

To bots. it makes sense... @AdSense

yep

customer support channel?

I always wanted to know what her sources are. Also, she appears to have blocked me! Maybe for making political comments

you guys should quote @realdanlyons's take on Benioff just for shits and giggles

I gotta say I kinda like him

he seems very cool to me as well! Not to Dan :)

how can you not think this guy is funny

Dan's book is more focused on these

heh

maybe craigslist will buy & turn it into a giant classifieds market :-0
