"I think the GoogleGlass foreplay is getting to be long on the tooth." - William Mougayar

"Canadian company from Waterloo. Very hot." - William Mougayar

"Yup. The FP should stop writing misleading articles & instead should rather write more positive articles about startups on a DAILY basis. There is also this wsj article which takes a positive spin on the value of accelerators. It's the old half-full vs. half-empty argument. http://stream.wsj.com/story/la..." - William Mougayar

"Search for it straight on YouTube or try the link I posted." - William Mougayar

"It's only 2.5 minutes. Laugh now ;)" - William Mougayar

"It was picked up by most tech blogs the next day which shows it hit a nerve. The embed says Not available on mobile. But this direct link should work: http://youtu.be/R-GKVyBb-KI" - William Mougayar

"I agree. Benioff is priced into it. If you take the man out, like Jobs, the premium deflates. But in selfish hindsight, that's what allows them to buy startups you invest in. Overvaluation has a cascading effect ;)" - William Mougayar

"Me think that was the pre-party. Dumb money is waking up." - William Mougayar

"I have a feeling the party is starting, just like in 1999. Let's hope this time there is no hangover. Fitting that Hangover III is out soon. Drink lots of water." - William Mougayar

"Wow. I want one of these." - William Mougayar

"+1 for the crema +10 for the stamp +100 for the idea" - William Mougayar

"Coffee? It's a love affair (shhh!). I used to have a special Milan-style Italian espresso blend (secret blend that only one other shop gets) UPS'ed every 2 weeks from a Vancouver torrefazione until my 12-year old Capresso Ultima semi-automatic machine broke down. (pic attached) But if I was living in Rome, my favorite coffee place is Saint-Eustachio who roasts their beans on wood fire. If you haven't tried coffee from this place, oh my God... http://www.santeustachioilcaff... This morning, french press on the porch with the birds. And for my best 7 coffee places list in Toronto, check my Foursquare list https://foursquare.com/wmougay..." - William Mougayar

"Is what happened this week at awe.sm between Fred & Jonathan a good case where the founding CEO replaced themselves to focus on product development? http://jonathanhstrauss.com/bl..." - William Mougayar

"You have a self-awareness about it that is quite revealing & insightful." - William Mougayar

"Good point. They may be in the process of being written." - William Mougayar

"...or some might end-up on your vintage technoparaphernalia shelve, with the passage of time." - William Mougayar

"It's more risky for sure, and in line with the iterative processes that we are now used to seeing with startups. Maybe it's the new normal even for big co's to ship unbaked products. I don't doubt that several Google technologies are useful and innovative, but I think it wouldn't hurt to take some their products with a grain of salt :)" - William Mougayar

"I think we agree pretty much, based on this "So I would say the two that will survive are very tech savvy marketers and very user focused IT professionals." Btw- that has been the case for a while, but I would say it's even more accentuated now. It's not a choice anymore. Reality is that roles change, and those who adapt continue to do well." - William Mougayar

"There are definite similarities, but Google's strategy is far more confusing that Microsoft's. Microsoft has clearly defined business units and segmentation approaches with a variety of products, many of which are leaders in their spaces. And, their revenues are spread quite evenly now across that portfolio. Compare to Google's cacophony announcements yesterday. It was all over the place, which probably reflects how Google is (dis)-organized internally. Maybe it's good & it promotes innovation, maybe it's bad. Just saying it. Bottom line, Google is trying a number of things, because they can afford to. Their footprint is amazingly large, but it's wider than it is deep. I don't know any other large co. whose 90% of revenues come from 1 product, while having 100 other products that have big usage but no revenue and which they can pull out whenever they want (hey, it was free, or we didn't get 100 million users, so we're pulling it out). Jeremiah Owyang had a good synopsis..." - William Mougayar

"Congrats. I will download now on my android that i need to charge first since i only use it to test apps that don't exist on the iphone :) Why don't you add these links on your landing page with the respective download icons?" - William Mougayar

"Cool. Welcome to Canada. It's a big country! Toronto has the most to offer from a variety point of view, but I would choose Montreal if it's just for a visit. Niagara Falls of course! Let me know if you make it." - William Mougayar

"Do you sell your one-year phones when you get a new one?" - William Mougayar

"No. I doubt all these new products will succeed, including the music one. But they are Google, and they have the bucks to try anything." - William Mougayar

"When you move to the valley, you'll be wearing the same thing :)" - William Mougayar

"Part of me agrees with you. They are in so many businesses now, and shown yesterday they can enter anything. Whether they can be successful at all of them is questionable, based on their track record." - William Mougayar

"I liked their live streaming service on YouTube accounts with over 1000 users,- giving competition to Livestream et.al" - William Mougayar

""Google announced so many things yesterday that it makes my head spin." You can say that again. If the incredible variety of announcements is an indication of things to come, it also made me wonder - what kind of company is Google going to become? Jeremiah Owyang had a good synopsis http://www.web-strategist.com/... He ends it with this "pithy" conclusion: - For consumers, if you’ve bought into the Google ecosystem, expect the tools and products to get better but know you’re the product. - For brands: If you want to play in Google’s sandbox, you’ll ultimately need to pay. - For Google Competitors: As Google has entered media, any industry is up for grabs; they may be your competitor and just not have announced it yet." - William Mougayar

"Congratulations. This makes me want to get a personal drone so bad!" - William Mougayar

"I wrote about the CIO vs.CMO roles here http://wmougayar.com/blog/2013..." - William Mougayar

"That's a loaded statement. You can teach anyone anything, but that doesn't mean they'll be really good at it. Yes, marketing automation & digital marketing have been surging, but that means the CMO is becoming more digital. The CIO is not becoming a marketer. That would be a disaster in most cases." - William Mougayar
