After A Cancelled Keynote, Benioff Strikes Back; Talks Future Of The Cloud (From A Restaurant)

The fun continued this morning at Oracle's OpenWorld Conference in San Francisco. Or, I should say, the fun continued at a restaurant across the street. Fine dining and location aside, for those unfamiliar, yesterday afternoon Oracle CEO Larry Ellison cancelled a keynote that was planned for this morning by none other than his former employee and frenemy: CEO of Salesforce, Marc Benioff. As we reported yesterday, Benioff tweeted last night to his followers, "Sorry #oow11 I don?t know why?.Larry just cancelled my keynote tomorrow! Join me@St.Regis AME Restaurant at 10:30AM! I?m disappointed too!" Though Oracle representatives were quick to say that the cancellation was simply a result of "overwhelming attendance", and that Benioff was offered a keynote later in the week, it's hard to say that this isn't the result of something more than a full schedule.
