Dreamforce Keynote – Chatter and the Platform
There is no way to write one post to cover everything, so I want to address one thing that some people may not have noticed: Salesforce Chatter is being pushed as a platform layer. Looking at the “chiclet” slide that Marc Benioff unveiled, let’s start with the “old” slide: Yes, this is not the exact […]
Salesforce.com Releases “Chatter” – a first look
The keynote hasn’t even started and already there is a lot of chatter on twitter and the web about salesforce.com’s new offering: Salesforce Chatter. In the Blog Pound, we were given books of Service Cloud success stories and chattering-teeth. The press packets were handed out, full of descriptions of Salesforce CRM’s new releases, all focused […]
Dreamforce 2009 Day 1: Prep
Good morning, all! As Dreamforce is this week, I’ll be sharing more frequently, updating after every major session and sharing code and config tips picked up during the conference.

Trigger to help Salesforce for Twitter
Salesforce for Twitter is one of the best AppExchange packages I've seen. It fulfills the promise salesforce.com made to bring the Service Cloud to all orgs of all sizes. And it works well.
Though a supplemental/unofficial guide to customizing SFDC for Twitter will be released soon on this site, I wanted to share a trigger I just wrote to add new Leads to a campaign:
Filtered Lookups, Validation Rules, and Order of Execution
Reading the cheatsheet for Filtered Lookup (beta), I noticed an interesting line: Lookup filters function similarly to validation rules when you save a record. That is, actions that cause related records to save, such as changes to a roll-up summary fields, also trigger the lookup filters on the related record and block the save. The […]
A Mention in the Developers Challenge
The salesforce.com Developer Force Challenge has concluded, and the team of Force Squared and The Enforcer won a mention! Our Daily Shinro site was listed “for sheer exuberance!” I’m really proud of the site, though the lion’s share of the kudos go to John for the concept and site design. I just coded whatever he […]
