Information Week: Jive CEO: Social Tools Are Essential, Not Extras
Wed, Feb 8th 2012 1:55p Ed Brill We agree in principle... Social software is the best way for organizations to organize "their single biggest investment, which for most companies is their people," [Jive CEO Tony Zingale] said. "They must adopt social business strategy or risk falling behind their competitors."Couldn't have said it better ourselves. However, I'm surprised where he goes from there: IBM Connections is the "refurbished Lotus email system"Um, OK. Even the reporter isn't buying it:His slams agains [read] Keywords: connections

Wired: Clive Thompson on Analog Designs in the Digital Age
Tue, Feb 7th 2012 2:00p Ed Brill On my flight over to Europe this week, I read Clive Thompson's column and was intrigued:When we get to the last week of February, open your Google Calendar and choose the Month view.

Now ask yourself: Why does Google Calendar--and nearly every other digital calendar--work that way? It [read] Keywords: lotus

Now they have commercialized the solution, so I can highlight it more broadly:Domino+ has developed a solution based on Lotus Domino, xPages, HTML5 and jQuery Mobile which allows Lotus Domino xPages applications to be used off-line when there's no data connection.

Lotusphere 2012: Mobility
Tue, Jan 24th 2012 7:40p Ed Brill One of last week's announcements that I didn't quite get to on the blog was the plan to support Windows Phone with the upcoming release of Lotus Notes Traveler. Specifically, IBM called out the intention to support Nokia and HTC devices on Notes Traveler. Yes, this is a reversal from my previously-stated position that Windows Phone wasn't interesting in the enterprise and thus, we wouldn't be investing. What persuaded me was our partnership with Nokia, and relative newcomer to the dance HTC, [read] Keywords: domino
