Den­nis How­lett does a guest column in ZDNet.

Fellow Enter­prise Irre­gu­lar, blog­ger and IT/finance con­sul­tant Den­nis How­lett offers a guest post on the state of busi­ness appli­ca­tion soft­ware, con­nec­ting the dots bet­ween Era­sure, Last.fm, social media, atten­tion, Paris Hil­ton, James Gover­nor, Jeff Nolan, Oracle, SAP, Fresh­books, thin­gamy, Eter­nal Recu­rrence, Sage, Infor, Larry Elli­son and Marc Benioff.

Says Den­nis:

In the mean­time, I won­der if Oracle’s mar­ke­ting depart­ment is thin­king of gaming Ms. Hilton’s assets. After all, ring­mas­ter Larry Elli­son has gone awfully quiet of late. The busi­ness apps busi­ness could do with a new come­dian show­per­son on whom we could lavish atten­tion. I’m tired of Marc Benioff’s hyper­bole. And in any event, the idea that Oracle could game Ms Hil­ton with a one-liner like: ‘Great ass gets a great ride with Oracle seems almost appropriate.

Thin­gamy gets a wee men­tion. Nice one, Den.
[Disc­lo­sure: I have a small stake in Thingamy.]
