Business Tech becomes sexy again

Of course, this is a cyclical trend like high street fashion. But this time it is because enterprises software-makers are finally grokking 'user experience'.

Social networking applications focussed on delivering a fast and friendly interface to the web. This made them a big hit. All the while enterprise software was form-driven, thick and clunky. As savvy enterprise developers are realising this trend, the user interface is turning sexier and easier to use than ever before.

The real money has always been in "business-oriented tech", but the infusion of social app concepts has given it a new lease of life.

It's about time the tech sector got respect again.
