Since the relaunch, JAA's traffic has been really growing, as is our following, and your support is greatly appreciated! For those who have signed up for the blog via RSS, we hope you continue following, and sharing with others is also appreciated.

You should also know that the majority of JAA's thought leadership is published on sites other than this blog, and the best way to follow my broader coverage is to subscribe to my monthly newsletter.

eComm is not heavy on announcements, but here's one that a good news story that's been in the works for a while. Followers of my blog should be familiar with both parties - The Thomas Howe Company and Jaduka. Today, they held a conference call at the conference to announce that Thomas Howe has joined Jaduka as their CEO, and Jack Rynes transitions from CEO to COO.

I think it's a great move for both companies, but I'm not going to get into the details now. In short, Tom brings the kind of vision to help Jaduka take enterprise applications to another level, and more importantly, position them at the forefront for what I would call the service provider of the future. Lots to say around this, but I'll do that in another forum.

Time is tight here, and others have done the job already, so I'll steer you to their posts and news items. First is the press release, then coverage from Rich Tehrani, Andy Abramson as well as Jim Courtney, who was present with me this morning in the suite where the concall was held. His post isn't up yet, but it will be soon - try checking his site later today.

Just in time for next week's TMC IT Expo, my latest Service Provider Views column was posted this morning.

I've been big on the platform play theme in my column, and Jaduka is another company doing some great things here, especially for enterprise applications. For this column, I did a Q&A with Jaduka's President, Jack Rynes, so for a change you get to hear about platform plays first hand from a leading practitioner. You can read the column here, and if you like it, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Jack too!

And if you haven't made plans to attend the Expo - or the 4G wireless show running next door - there's still time. Aside from the extensive content and exhibitor presence, it sounds like hotel space is available and the weather is getting warmer. When it's snowing like it is today in Toronto, these things all add up to a pretty good idea. Hope to see you there.
