I’m a SharePoint fan (and presumably one of the reasons M$ expressed interest in awarding me the MVP, of which I’m very proud of the consideration).\u00a0 Maybe I’m even a bit of a homer about it (a homer, for all you non-hockey fans is someone that backs up your team and only sees the positive, even when you are awful \u2013 and being a true blue Leafs fan, I’m definitely a homer at the moment there too \u2013 which is tough living out West with all the Canuckleheads \u2026 but that is another story).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyways, I loves me some SharePoint \u2013 an endless abyss of things to learn, try and share.\u00a0 And I teach SharePoint classes on occasion and I’m always amazed at the griping<\/span> I hear about SharePoint and it’s *lack<\/strong>* of this or that.\u00a0 And let’s face it, 9 times out of 10, the issue is poor planning or lack of fundamental knowledge before ‘turning it on’.\u00a0 So, we have this fantastic platform and architecture, that has been maturing over many years with a solid framework to keep it being (IMHO), the most important product to come out of Microsoft in their history (which is saying a lot for a company worth a quadztrillion dollars).\u00a0 We have\u00a0 a very powerful end user interface and collaboration tool that allows folks to get at their stuff, from anywhere, at anytime on virtually anything \u2013 with a very complex backend engine based on all sorts of technologies (SQL, IIS, ASP.NET and on and on).\u00a0 What do people expect for crying out loud? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyways, the purpose of this post, was to share this YouTube video \u2013 a short rant on Conan O’brien by Louis CK entitled ‘Everything is Amazing, Nobody is Happy<\/em><\/strong>‘.\u00a0\u00a0 For me, this is how I feel about SharePoint \u2013 this is an amazing platform (and industry leader \u2013 yes, I’m pointing at you Google, with your trickling of non-intersecting applications and services that don’t play together) and yet, nobody is happy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy \u2013 I think it’s worth the 4 minutes and 12 seconds – <\/span>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LoGYx35ypus<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The good news is \u2026 the Internet and infrastructure is maturing all the time and gaining speed and throughput.\u00a0 Browsers, applications and frameworks are maturing at a rapid rate, and more and more, people are accepting web-based services and applications as ready to use \u2026 and all of this will result in the tidal wave that is SharePoint to continue to gain traction. <\/span><\/p>\n
