Pivoting is not particular to tech startups. Many of the largest companies we know today have done it throughout the years to adapt to new times or even to survive. The list surprises lots of people:

Is 30% focus on innovation enough to keep you #1?
The only good thing about not being able to go to the Web 2.0 Summit this year is watching its live stream (or rather archived sessions for the ones who are busy during the day).
Before breakfast today I watched Mark Pincus presentation. The bigger Zynga gets the further from innovation they seem to move. No announcements, boredom. Of 1,300 employees, 400 are working on “new IP”, so...

NoSQL: no future for RDBMS?
Tokyo Cabinet is cool name. I think of some 80’s punk band every time I hear it - specially because it’s always associated with the NoSQL movement. In fact there’s a number of key/value stores out there that are really interesting for a large number of particular applications. Don’t think that RDBMS will die or get replaced by this approach.
