<p>He&#8217;s got a point, although I am subscribed to Oracle&#8217;s blogs for <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/shared/14480565058256660224">my link blog</a>, which is how I saw this post.</p>
<p>So, why doesn&#8217;t Oracle get any respect? I can&#8217;t remember when they did what JD did &#8212; link out to people and join the conversation. I can&#8217;t remember getting an invite to any Oracle blogging event (Microsoft, Sun, SAP, Salesforce.com, and Adobe are all companies who&#8217;ve invited a variety of bloggers over for a meet &#8212; it&#8217;s no wonder to me why they get more blog coverage).</p>
<p>I&#8217;d love to come over to Oracle with my video camera and learn about its business.</p>
