Lotus Connections 2.5 Mobile

Did you try out Connections 2.5 on the Greenhouse yet? Did you find the mobile browser interface? It really isn't that hard! http://greenhouse.lotus.com/mobile

Mobile browser access will be supported on iPhone, iPod Touch, and Nokia S60 devices. We're rolling out only a few of the services and devices to start, but see this as a growing interface, as the rest of Lotus does. I know you will get instant value in being able to pull up a Connections Profile, update your status, and blog from wherever.
If your looking for RIM's BlackBerry Client for Lotus Connections, let them know it.

Lotus Connections 2.5 in the Wild!

My friends on the Lotus Greenhouse team, have successfully upgraded their Lotus Connections install to the 2.5 beta stream!
I know I've been missing in action for a bit, but this for me marks the beginning of the 2.5 release which is on target for third quarter this year. There's lots to say and do and I can't wait to do it, but for now please go enjoy our updates (including Files and Wikis)!

Yay FriendFeed!

I really like FriendFeed. Maybe not as much as Scoble, but I am getting there. Up to now, I have been using it lightly for public feed aggregation but the feeds I am watching there and value I get from the service continues to grow. As I was clicking around on the site today, I found my new favorite feature, imaginary friend:

You can keep track of your friends that don't use FriendFeed by creating "imaginary friends." For example, if you know your friend's Flickr username, you can create an imaginary friend with that Flickr account, and you will get notified every time your friend publishes a photo.

The best part is that other people, your friends, can't see your imaginary friends. I love it! It takes friending to a whole new level.

"Lotusphere was great!", says my inbox.

With the new year and the calm before the storm that is Lotusphere, I took the opportunity to reduce my inbox to nothing. And try as I did during the week, I could not keep up with it.
My apologies to anyone that is in queue, I am working on this with vigor today. And please, try not to become number 400!

Lotusphere 2009: GURUpalooza!

Be sure to come to GURUpalooza!

This session is a must for anyone that is interested in what some of the best minds working in Lotus Technologies have to offer beyond their presentations at Lotusphere. Come here for more answers and insight into what has been covered this week. It's a relaxed Q&A, Thursday before lunch. See you there.

Session id: GURU101
Session date: 01/22/2009
Session time: 11:30am - 12:30pm
Session location: SW 5-10

All week you've been basking in the knowledge that has shone down upon
you from our tracks of experts. You’ve listened to their sessions,
“borrowed” their ideas, and have cornered them in the hallways at every opportunity to get that little bit of extra help. But, as always, there are more questions than opportunities for answers. We’re giving you one last chance to pick their brains —
and that opportunity is known as GURUpalooza. Bring those final questions, comments, and even a little bit of praise to GURUpalooza and let’s all have one more
collaborative "geek fest"before we draw Lotusphere 2009 to a close!
