I spent most of this week at Salesforce.com ’s Dreamforce conference. This is pretty much the notion of “Salesforce add-ons” that I wrote about on August 16 (see "Can CRM Add-Ons Replace Marketing Automation?" ).

Salesforce.com easily dominates despite the presence of surprisingly capable free products like ZohoCRM and FreeCRM. Of course, the really big question is whether Salesforce.com will make a similar move.
