This year at Lotusphere 2012, we are continuing
our practice of providing our "literature on a business card."
That means if our products are interesting, you can simply take a card
and get the rest of the information online, where it is always more current.
Here is a sample of our "literature"
which is the size of a business card:
It contains a QR Reader to jump to our
website, and some simple product and contact information.
As Antoine Leboyer at GSX mentioned
in his blog post Being
Green at Lotusphere, "ask
yourself whether you really keep and read all these papers which vendors
like us give you".
We agree and we hope
more vendors adopt "lightweight literature", as it makes for
a greener and lighter user experience at Lotusphere.
Canned Replies for Lotus Notes
Tue, May 22nd 2012 12:44p Frank Paolino One of the most popular features of Gmail is
"Canned Responses", which are "official" answers to
Frequently Asked Questions. It allows a Help Desk or Sales staff to provide
more complete answers every time they reply. So I asked myself "Can
this be done in Lotus Notes"? Well, the answer is "Yes"
and we have done it!
We call it Canned
Replies. It installs as a Lotus
Notes Sidebar App* in about 2 minutes. It allows us to create high
quality replies quickly while maintaining c [read] Keywords: domino

Why Testing Everything is Important
Tue, Apr 10th 2012 8:24a Frank Paolino So this blog is being targeted by spammers
to advertise their products. I don't get a lot of comments, so I made the
default ACL "Readers" to stop the spam overnight and moved on
to the next thing on my Agenda.
I did not bother to test the blog
by creating a comment because I knew it would work. Until
it didn't.
Moral of the story: Make changes and
test them, or as a customer told me on my first week as a consultant:
Don't expect
it if you don't
inspect it.

Jon Stewart on Obama Spam and Social Media
Fri, Apr 6th 2012 8:04a Frank Paolino This is a pretty funny skit. Jon talks
about Social Media and email spam. I don't want to spoil the fun, but here
are a few excerpts:
"The
ones from Barack Obama have the subject line "Hey"...you don't
need to address anyone as "Hey" to be cool. You're the President,
that's pretty f---ing cool! You don't need to resort to the sort
of fake familiarity that spammers use ...
Second, everytime I open those super
casual bro-mails, the message is always the same [read] Keywords: application

meat from Hormel Foods. In Hawaii, you will find SPAM family of products

Unified by Spam - The Social Experiment
Mon, Mar 12th 2012 9:04a Frank Paolino This is a fun story of a spam atack that ends
up uniting a group of people. As reported in the Wall
Street Journal article, a spam message
sent to a listserv address created an auto-reply to all. Many other people
replied-to-all with "remove". This happened over and over. Finally,
one user said:
"Do
people understand that, by replying to all, you're perpetuating this ridiculous
spam cycle?" someone from the U.K. wrote. "I realize that I'm
doing exactly the same [read] Keywords: linkedin

Eating Your Own Dog Food
Thu, Mar 8th 2012 6:43a Jason Baird When you work to support other people you, you
may not realize how cool the product is until you really get to use it
yourself . My name is Jason and I have worked with MayFlower to support
their SpamSentinel and MBE (Manage By Example) products for several years
now. I personally have never had a need for anti-spam and anti-virus software
on my own Domino servers. Why? I was always careful with my email addresses,
I never get spam. I only sign up for things using my gmail account in order [read] Keywords: domino

App to Locate Friends at LS2012
Thu, Jan 12th 2012 8:43a Frank Paolino Kudos to Mats Jansson of Donova.se
for building a really useful iPhone and iPad app to locate and connect
with friends at Lotusphere 2012.
It is useful to find one friend among
the 10,000 delegates. The friend could be right around the corner and you
can see them and stop and talk with them.
To use it, all you need to do is register
your name, email, company and country. You can then make and receive friend
requests. There are three options to show limited numbers of people. My

NotesAppStore renamed to JustForDomino
Tue, Jan 10th 2012 10:42a Frank Paolino So we are re-launching the NotesAppStore
as JustForDomino.
Why?
Well, I could cite the many people who
said it is not really a store, but that's not why.
I could say we wanted a more memorable
name, but that's not why.
Maybe it is a re-launch of the site,
which is partially true.
Or maybe AppStore is a registered Apple
trademark, although Amazon does not agree (see their AppStore
here). Anyway,
Apple didn't like the way we used the term AppStore, leaving me a cho [read] Keywords: apple
