“We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
-Chief Brody
When you think about it, this PowerPivot thing is still really, really small. I mean, I’m thrilled with the level of readership here already, but then I remind myself “Hey Rob, you realize that less than 0.1% of the eventual target audience has even heard of PowerPivot yet, right?” – well that’s just hard to contemplate.
We’re just getting started. Actually, we’re just getting started on the getting started
Similarly, the number of people passionate enough about this stuff to set up blogs devoted specifically to PowerPivot (and SharePoint BI in general) – it just keeps growing.
First, Vidas Matelis is reprising his excellent SSAS-info.com specifically for PowerPivot, with the introduction of powerpivot-info.com – I’m sure we will see great things there
Second, two of my colleagues at MS were inspired by PASS (as I was inspired by the SharePoint conference) to set up shop as well:
Dave Wickert at PowerPivotGeek.com
Denny Lee at PowerPivotTwins.com
…and if you were at PASS, you already know what these guys can do
Some of you have asked if this is a coordinated effort by MS, all this PowerPivot blogging by employees. The answer is a definitive No. We all did this independently. In fact, now that we’re all here, it would be good for us to coordinate a little bit on behalf of everyone out there, so we’re not duplicating content, etc. – the three of us will huddle (virtually) and see what we can do.
