Ok, so a slight delay in the hints of whats going on because I’m drunk. I forgot margaritas fix everything and I have already sent my official DrunkSMS to Dave Sobel (we exchange them on weekends). Anyhow… Yes. The blue pacific margarita. Yum. Tasty. And works very quickly when you’ve pulled an all nighter and traveled a few thousand miles in the 24 hours.

Where was I.. yes, drunk. Not Queenie drunk where at 2.0 BAC she can still recite A Midsumnmer Night’s Dream but Nascar drunk. So, whats in the store at OWN. Well, here is the thing. We’re taking what we already have and we’re mashing it up together. We already have the corporate blog, and last week we launched the network operations center to let people know whats going on our network in realtime so there aren’t “are you guys breaking the internet tickets”; This of course ties in back and forth but we’re taking it a step further with Shockey Monkey and doing predictive pulls based on the ticket context. So if you indicate that you’re having a problem with your web hosting and we’re patching Microsoft servers an advisory link to NOC will pop up. Nifty, I almost know how I’m going to do it!  I am here to inspire confidence. Now, we’re also adding a documentation network, you can actually see a themed mockup over at our Documentation Center, we’re just waiting for the lawyers to finish up their circle **** and figure out what content can and cannot be shown in public. The idea is that there will only be one spot for documentation and support team is to ruthlessly link to the established pages and document new ones whenever someone with more brains than we have asks an intelligent question that wasn’t previously answered (ie: hole in the documentation). Finally, new flagship product pages for.. well, everything.   I can’t show you this yet (some marketing thing) but it ought to launch by Monday.  The OWN hopefully by the end of the week because there are more products. We are taking a different direction, we’re doing more “consultative selling” on the solutions so that both SMBs and IT solution providers can deliver an effective pitch to whoever decides to cut the check. I believe I explained the concept of sold you a dream before where it is your objective to give the subject enough information so they can sell themselves the dream of actually using your proposed solution. Well, we’re doing that. I’m bringing lots of Vlad to it too, embedded podcasts and video, lord knows I never intend to pick up a phone again so if you want to hear my soothing voice you’ll be able to listen to me sell sharepoint parts. I can hear women (yes, both of them) just melting with excitement over it.

Finally, and most defeatedly if I can be allowed to make up a word – a monthly mailing list. First of the month, I will send an email to our parnters, customers, friends and give them the insight into the things you’d already know if you gave a f… This is a huge disappointment, we’re putting together a defunct 90’s technology for the people who are supposed to be technology consultants yet cannot grasp the modern concept of syndicated content distribution..

And you know how I said sooner than later.. Yeah… 1st. November 1st. November first, 2007. Thats like 5 days out or so. Drunkass out.
