We use the NOW() function/subroutine. This function gives us the current date when it is used. We also use fields from Salesforce. These fields (as we have discussed in previous lessons). When we use Salesforce fields, they come in the following format. A field always starts with “{!” and ends with “}“. In between the two ends, we have the Field Name. For example, if we use {!CreatedDate} in a formula, Saleforce will evaluate that and return the Created Date. Field names and field labels should not be confused, they are related but are not identical. [...] […] We also make use of some Salesforce fields and functions. We use the NOW() function/subroutine.

And as long as we had no restrictions to what we would write (I imagine that would definitely not work for folks like ThoughtsOnSalesforce.com :) ) then it would work quite well. I especially like the idea of getting some press releases in advance, as that would make life much easier on getting articles written in advance. Good idea Mike!

Also, it would be nice to have an short meeting where the decision markers at Salesforce listened to what we had to say and gave us their view in return. Lastly, it would be nice to get pre-release info so we can prepare blog comments in advance. We'd respect an embargo because otherwise then could withhold pre-release info in the future. Giving us this and then requiring only positive reporting would of course backfire, so they should realize they need to do this w/o expectation of positive "press." If they do a good job, we'll say so. If they do a bad job or set bad policies, well...
