Way to go Lotus Connections

Mike Gotta, posted a good summary of the SharePoint vs. Connections battle going down at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference this week. It's an exciting event and I wish I could have been there for it! The stakes are high as customers of all sizes start to look at social software offerings from IBM, Microsoft and others.

These CIO.com articles provide a good background of what the two biggest in the software industry are providing:
Understanding Lotus Connections, IBM's Version of Web 2.0 For The Enterprise
Understanding Microsoft SharePoint in a Web 2.0 World

Lawrence Liu's (Microsoft's SharePoint Senior Technical Product Manager), Tweet on how the face-off went is a good concession and shows that we are headed in the right direction.
