			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm only just starting to use <a href="http://twitter.com/datamartist" target="_blank">twitter for Datamartist</a>, but discovered twitter search, and did a search for Business Intelligence.  Well, people are twittering a lot about Microsoft Business Intelligence if <a href="http://twittersheep.com" target="_blank">twitter sheep</a>, a really cool cloud visualization for twitter is to be believed.</p>
<p>This is what I got when I searched for "business intelligence".</p>
<p><img src="http://www.datamartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/microsift-business-intelligence-twitter-discussion-share.jpg" alt="microsift-business-intelligence-twitter-discussion-share" title="microsift-business-intelligence-twitter-discussion-share" width="600" height="523" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2330" /></p>
<p>Apparently a lot of tweets containing "business intelligence" are microsoft focused.  Can you even see the tiny "cognos", the "sap" in there?  Oracle is readable- but wow. Microsoft. Sharepoint. Somebody in the Microsoft marketing camp needs to save this picture for when its time to talk about performance bonuses.</p>
<p>I've written here before about the Microsoft marketing machine, and when I did, I noticed a flurry of traffic to the Datamartist site from Redmond, and then noticed that I got some hits from twitter itself- Microsoft BI folks exchanging the link to the blog post. So the people selling and promoting Microsoft Business intelligence are definitely on twitter.</p>
<p>Whats also interesting, is to see the current marketing storms-  guess what comes up when you search for "Microsoft", and guess what for "Google"?  Yes, if you guessed "BING" for Microsoft and "Wave" for google you're right-  but notice how "BING" made a double appearance-  People talking about google are talking about bing, but people talking about wave aren't talking about Microsoft.  I will leave it to the marketing experts to put forward their theories on all this.<br />
