Thoughts on yesterday's IBM-Twitter partnership..

So I have been thinking. In the past one year, there's so many exciting things that IBM has announced. There's Softlayer acquisition (sure, more than one year, but bear with me). There's IBM Bluemix. There's partnership with Apple which I mentioned a couple of post back. We recently announced a partnership with Microsoft to support .Net runtime and MS SQL database in Bluemix. We also just launched Watson in Bluemix. We shed some baggages (System x sale to Lenovo and now the semi conductor sale). We created a partnership with SAP on making SAP Hana available on IBM cloud. And yesterday, the partnership with Twitter. All these in a year and a half! It's gonna be really exciting to see where this is going. Very, very exciting. As an employee, my mind is blown! Especially for someone who spent 18 years here. This is a very fast moving, super duper pace that is normally not associated with IBM. We are indeed charting a new course and is moving towards a new ERA at bullet train speed! I can't wait to see how the future unfolds!
