"Market Leader, I believe, has tens of thousands of clients including some high profile names like Century 21. So teaming up with Market Leader should increase Trulia's footprint in the real estate market," analyst Charles King of Pund-IT told CRM Buyer. "And for a company looking for ways to drive revenues and build a service model online, it's potentially a very important and valuable acquisition for them." ...

"The Microsoft/Klout partnership -- not sure the term applies, given Microsoft's investment in the company -- seems a bit odd to me," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. "Klout's effort to identify experts according to their standing in the company's social media...

"In the reviews that I looked at, the main complaints were that Canonical had essentially dumbed down Ubuntu and made it more difficult to customize and personalize," commented Charles King, principal at Pund-IT. "If you're trying to drive Linux into a broader user base, hav...

BitTorrent Sync is "moving into a field that's already pretty crowded with other offerings," Charles King, principal at Pund-IT Research told TechNewsWorld. "It could be attractive to certain kinds of users and certain kinds of projects because it's built for overly large files, but I'm not sure that it would really be that tempting to companies that are already happy with solutions like Box or Dropbox."

"The continual miniaturization of IT made this sort of thing inevitable," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, but "it's cost will put it out of the reach of all but the most dedicated hobbyists." Image Capturing...

"I think the real goal Salesforce.com is aiming at here is to become a 'one stop shop' for orchestrating cross-media, including traditional and social environment marketing strategies.

That's because the punchline beneath the headlines is the age of Summly founder. Nick D'Aloisio, 17 -- and a little more than a year short of high school graduation -- appears to have qualified as the world's youngest VC-backed entrepreneur.

"The view Oracle presents of its solutions focuses almost entirely on the benefits they provide related to other Oracle products," said Charles King, principal at Pund-IT.

"The question is whether Summly has more value on its own terms, via, say, app sales, or as a foundational technology that can be applied to other Yahoo services and solutions," Charles King, principal at Pund-IT, told the E-Commerce Times.

"Form factor limitations doomed them to failure," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. "Products were either too small to be fully usable or so large that they appeared dorky and helplessly unstylish. Today's technology can certainly stuff more smarts into a smartwatch, but the form limitations remain."
