Example of Events in the Cloud… tibbr
Posted by Paul Vincent
A few months ago we speculated that events (and event processing) “in the cloud” would probably appear best suited to some social networking type of application (in addition to the usual Platform-As-A-Service remote “systems center” use case). Lo and behold, TIBCO has introduced a corporate “twitter-type” service called tibbr for distributing messages across an organization, deployed into the cloud, and based on the TIBCO Silver cloud product. Soft of antithesis of MS Sharepoint…
For those wondering on the relevance of tibbr to TIBCO CEP technologies, note that TIBCO Silver exploits TIBCO BusinessEvents CEP technology under the covers. tibbr also exploits TIBCO ActiveSpaces. As for tibbr potentially being used as an event channel for direct processing of tibbr messages in BusinessEvents - well this should certainly be possible, but finding some good use cases might be a challenge.

Nothing to show and a lot of marketing are not making a good product. Silver is not available and Tibbr is built on Silver. Great.
Why talking so early of a product you can not show?

Hi William - I believe you are a Tibco customer in France. FYI:
1. Silver is in Beta at customer sites, and can certainly be “shown” to customers.
2. tibbr was originally just “the Silver demo” but has now got a life of its own! The tibbr beta will be TIBCO internal initially.
Of course, if you don’t like advanced information of products, don’t bother reading about them!
Cheers
