Salesforce: “The Service Cloud has been helping more than 8,000 companies deliver stellar customer service. Helping them run more efficient contact centers, connect with customers online, and even join the conversation in social communities. And today, their agents got a lot smarter. Now, they have a new way of joining the conversation online. And their customers have a new way to solve their service issues in the cloud, in real time. – The next chapter in the customer service revolution kicks off with three exciting new products from salesforce.com: Salesforce Knowledge, Salesforce Answers, and Salesforce for Twitter. … Now, Salesforce for Twitter can help companies join the conversation. Monitor what customers are saying and find those that need help. Let customers create service cases with just a ‘tweet.’ And even share knowledge with anyone in the Twitter community.”
TC: “Leveraging the cloud when it comes to customer service is a powerful way of integrating the social web with the enterprise space, as we’ve written in the past. Salesforce.com and Benioff have been at the helm of this movement and today’s upgrade to the Service Cloud represents the company’s continued innovative strategies that seem to deliver real value to enterprise customers. … Salesforce currently has fairly big-name customers who are using the service cloud, including Starbucks, Comcast and Dell. But Salesforce isn’t forgetting about the little guy; the company recently launched a lightweight contact manager targeted towards small businesses.”
Mashable: “With Service Cloud 2, it’s clear that Salesforce.com is serious about being a robust, evolving and agile player in the ever-growing SAAS space. The social media features Salesforce.com is integrating into its solutions look top-notch. The fact that these solutions can be integrated into existing systems just makes it that much more attractive.”

Facebook: “Real-time updates have become an important aspect of the social Web that make it easier to share with friends. In March, we introduced a real-time News Feed to make the stream as relevant and engaging as possible for users. Similarly, FriendFeed, which we recently acquired, built their entire site to support real-time updates. It hasn’t been easy to build and scale these features, so today we’re open-sourcing a core piece of infrastructure called Tornado, which was originally developed by the FriendFeed team.”
TC: “When Facebook acquired FriendFeed last month, everyone knew it was getting some pretty impressive technology along with the obvious talent in the company. What people probably didn’t expect is that Facebook would open source a portion of it. But that’s what they’re doing today with the release of Tornado, a real-time web framework for Python, onto the web.”
Winer: “I also reminded people that when cool technologies are shipping everywhere it’s not a time of death it’s a time of life, as long as we have the web to connect our work, there’s nothing exclusive about it. The engineers don’t think we’re wiping each other out, only the pundits and the hangers-on do.”
RWW: “Developers will now be able to tap into one of the core infrastructure pieces that made FriendFeed tick so well. While other services (like Twitter) tend to have a lot of trouble to scale up when they grow, FriendFeed never ran into these problems and Tornado was surely one of the main reasons why the site managed to stay up and running even when demand spiked during major events.”
