There seems to be a trend in the blogosphere the last months. I already tweeted about it a couple of time but decided to create a list to make it more obvious for some of you non-believers. I guess after reading the following list the question is “who is next” and of course “where can I place my bet?”.
- Simon Gallagher –> VMware
- Simon Long –> VMware
- Simon Seagrave –> EMC
- Bas Raayman –> EMC
- Rich Brambley –> Veeam
- Alan Renouf –> EMC
- Hany Michael –> VMware
- Kenneth van Ditmarsch –> VMware
- Scott Lowe –> EMC
- Frank Denneman –> VMware
- Rick Scherer –> EMC
- Ken Cline –> Quest
- Massimo Re Ferrè –> VMware
- Ed Saipetch –> EMC
- Mike Laverick –> Tech Target
- …. more to come soon! Believe me.
Now I’m not judging any of the people mentioned or any of the vendors recruiting these experts; It’s merely an observation. Better said I fully understand why this is happening. The VMware community is full of experienced and knowledgeable people and especially the bloggers have a high visibility.
Now, place your bet.
