                      #BoS2011 day 2 notes

                      25 de outubro, 2011

                      Today was day 2 of Business of Software 2011, aka, #BoS2011. Checkout my notes on day 1 if you haven’t done that yet.

                      Beautiful day in Boston Seaport area

                      Beautiful day in Boston Seaport area

                      Full room at #BoS2011

                      Full room at #BoS2011

                      Again good speakers and interesting topics, but again nothing really new for those who follow product management, agile software development and startup related feeds.

                      I guess the good thing of attending BoS is not exactly the content, that you can get through the net. It’s the opportunity to meet in person lots of people from the software industry and exchange experiences and opinions.

                      One thing I noticed is that there are many people attending BoS who are from the old software model industry, the one based on licenses and on-premise installation. Good to see they are at BoS looking to understand that software is moving into hosted based subscription model. 🙂

                      Below are some tweets and references. And again from the number of tweets it’s easy to spot the talks that brought me more new stuff. 😛

                      • A/B testing often tells us things we don’t want to hear, like the design isn’t helping.
