Eddie Awad’s Blog: Oracle Technology Network Stats and a Tweet

  • Pete Finnigan · 2 years ago

    Hi Eddie,


    Perhaps the diagram and description in the link are not brilliant but from the diagram connect looks suspiciously like linked-in. why re-invent the wheel why not use a hugely successful solcial network that already exists to connect people interested in Oracle, there are of course many others as well already out there.


    cheers

    Hi Pete,


    Maybe Connect has features specific to Oracle and not available in other social networks like linked-in and Facebook. I do not know. But, I agree with you, why reinvent the wheel if they are the same.


    Cheers

    LinkedIn doesn't have the Oracle employee directory. It also does not have the trust level of being inside the Oracle firewall. We're not reinventing the wheel. We repurposing it.

    Hi Eddie,

    >> Countries containing OTN members: 255

    Er, aren't there only 196 countries?

    http://www.google.com/search?&q=196+countries

    I wonder where the other 59 are?
  • Eddie Awad · 2 years ago
    Good catch Don. Based on this website, the number is 194. In any case, it's not 255 unless we count other planets and galaxies :)

    OK, that should be 255 countries "and territories".

    Um, but discounting Peteria and Galgamax, it's still suspicous that it says 255! That's awful close to a power of two (2**8) . . . .
