Episode Details

Having something to sell is always key to a profitable business. We explore this life-hack of the business world in discussion Twitter and then Amazon licensing Thursday night football.

Akamai Buys SOASTA

The result is a comprehensive set of cloud-based performance and business outcome optimization."
