Good list of popular SaaS platforms. There are so many options out there so it is good to see how the services differ and how they affect the bottom line.

SaaS platforms are a great alternative to developing and managing in-house hardware and software for many companies. SaaS providers shoulder the responsibility of developing software & managing all aspects of performance and security. https://t.co/04gP5VEjaC #MGT5810

Cloud computing is allowing research communities to spend funding dollars on more analysis instead of procuring hardware. This shift will be huge in areas such as genome analytics.

Microsoft is teaming up with Answer ALS by donating $1M towards studying ALS. The project will gather 6 billion data points each from 1,000 people with ALS. Can't wait to see big data help find treatments and cures for this disease.

Wow. This is both amazing and a bit scary. Finding bugs in codes seems to be one area that needs human intervention. On the bright side, technological advances such as this will free up resources so we can focus on the next breakthrough.

Keeping teens engaged seems like it should be a top priority for #Facebook. According to this CNN article, teens now prefer Instagram and Snapchat by a wide margin.

Apple's Tim Cook calls out Facebook data gathering tactics as "surveillance"
that may be "weaponized against us with military efficiency." Everyone must hold tech companies accountable in regards to our personal data.

Facebook looking to invest heavily into cybersecurity by possibly buying an established company. After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, will this win back lost users?

DogVacay is an interesting example of the trending sharing economy. Plenty of people need a reliable person to leave their pet with when traveling. Does the convenience offset peace of mind?

Wow! I had no idea that most of these existed. The only one that I have ever used is Air BNB. We can all be entrepreneurs in the sharing economy! #MGT5810 12 ways to earn extra cash in the 'sharing economy' https://t.co/XCEdSVbECt

Renting will surely be cheaper in the sharing economy but areas such as blockchain have security threats that must be addressed. Be careful with your digital footprint.

#MGT5810

[John C. Williams @JCWCDME]

Some predict that the sharing economy is in for exponential growth and that borrowing versus buying will become the norm in the future. Blockchain tech & smart contracts may expand peer to peer transactions minus any middleman such as Airbnb. #MGT5810 https://t.co/wJdACJXVAQ

[Benjamin Chandler @Bchandl7]

Uber has announced a new division called Powerloop which will launch them into the tractor-trailer rental business. This seems like a smart business move because it will allow them to leverage their core app technology further.

I love the concept of Pecha Kucha. This presentation style was developed by Japanese Architects which focuses more on images. This seems like a good "less is more" technique which uses images to trigger talking points instead of reading every line on a powerpoint.

Very interesting way to gain self-confidence with presentation skills by joining a club. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable should be trademarked!

[Jennifer Priester @JennPriester]

I think the best thing that I have done to better my presentation skills was joining my local Toastmasters Club. I am very uncomfortable speaking. It is helping me to get comfortable with being uncomfortable :) #MGT5810

Very engaging TED talk. Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity, and Love - Four cornerstones to make your voice have more impact. Keeping these ideas in mind should help anyone's presentation skills.

#MGT5810

[John C. Williams @JCWCDME]

Great Video by Julian Treasure (TED Talk) regarding speaking & presentation tools. He offers 7 deadly sins of of speaking and a toolbox for voice coaching that covers inflection, tone & volume. This is definitely worth 10 minutes of your time! https://t.co/RClbijN4SH

Great article called, "11 presentation lessons to be learned from Steve Jobs." "Expressing your passion" is one I always associate with Jobs. Remember, if you're not excited about your idea, nobody else will be.

Great article about Google leveraging network effects. They have a virtual monopoly in web search and a duopoly in advertising with Facebook which also benefits from network effects.

#MGT5810

[Benjamin Chandler @Bchandl7]

Facebook is network effects on steroids. It is a free service depending on how much you value your personal data. Can you resist inconveniencing your friends by not participating? It's important to consider the pros and cons of joining any online service these days.

Good video describing #networkeffects and its effect on Facebook. (pun intended) #mgt5810 https://t.co/KS04OWx9K9

So Google is being secretive about entering the health and wellness industry?...I think I've heard this one before (Amazon). 🤔Looks like a race to gain market share in what some experts are calling the next trillion dollar industry.

[Erik Dirkmaat @EDirkmaat]

I just installed the Google owned #nest hello doorbell. These connected features aim to improve lifestyle. What could they be doing acquiring a health startup? #MGT5810 https://t.co/DmzR6U3cf4

Google is partnering with Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi and will integrate its Android operating system into cars starting in 2021. A great alliance. Next up: self-driving cars.

Amazon set to release eight new voice-assistant devices including a microwave! Alexa technology adoption will continue to spread as network effects prevail.
Who doesn't use Amazon these days? 🙂

Amazon opened secret lab "1492" for healthcare innovations. This is a reference to Christoper Columbus stumbling on the Americas. When not exploring space, Bezos is exploring $3 trillion industries. Look out healthcare industry!
