I have been writing about software for enterprises for a long time.  Some of that writing focused on the new era of applications and some of it was more focused on the traditional side.  In either case, I felt that it needed it’s own life rather than continue to be mixed with things like my personal opinion and my podcast.  Introducing Kung Fu Apps.  To my knowledge, there’s not another blog with the same type of focus on enterprise startups and applications with a similar approach. 

It also plays into BigSwerve, my consumer facing startup.  I can’t say exactly why they’re related, but they are.  Kung Fu Apps allows me to continue to write about subject matter than I know about extensively and care about deeply. 

Kung Fu Apps was named by my friend Jerry.  I expressed to him what I wanted to write about and he came up with the name and a catch phrase:  Kickin’ Apps in the Enterprise.  It is brilliant —  a catch phrase with a double entendre.  And the name, Kung Fu Apps, is something that the enterprise publications lack:  a little levity. 

Hat tip to Mike Arrington of TechCrunch for the inspiration to do what he did for the consumer space.
