DISQUS

Wed Methods bought most of the ASSETS of Cerebra. Draw you own conclusions which hopefully will be a bit different from what you stated in your post.

I have no idea what point you intend to make or what conclusions you think I made that need correction.

webMethods bought Cerebra. The Cerebra team are now employee's of webMethods. webMethods clearly owns most of the Cerebra IP, etc. etc.

The article I ripped apart is still completely silly.

Make a cogent point, or really, any point. BTW, "substantively all assets" is just legal speak. It's perfectly reasonable to say, "webMethods bought Cerebra". Indeed, everyone is saying that.

Hmm. Your post could use a nice snarky deconstruction as well :)

Bijan, thanks for the humorous, insightful commentary. You have done what many of us are frequently tempted to do, but lack the passion/courage to follow through. Thanks for exposing this pathetic marketing gibberish from webMethods. When I first read it, I wondered if webMethods really understood what they bought. It seems they were caught up in the "semantic web" of hype that they were spinning. Clearly the author (and we can surmise the reviewers too) were ignorant of this, which really makes one wonder about how well they understand those "Cerebra assets" they purchased. Se la vie. I feel for the "16" folks. It seems that life will be very different at webMethods.

I had some of the same reactions from reading the CBR article. Thanks for the validation. You made some excellent points. It'll be interesting to see how webMethods markets the Cerebra products.

"acquitition"? That's a novel spelling. ;-)

You missed "scarquote". Diigo was a bit annoying and I forgot to do a spelling check at the end. Sigh.
