Connections101.net Podcast
Mon, May 7th 2012 2:04p Suzanne Livingston Have you heard about the new IBM Connections 101 education site? If you haven't seen it yet, Gabriella Davis and Paul Mooney launched Connections 101 - a site aimed at helping people set up an IBM Connections environment from scratch, especially those with a Domino background or who have never worked with WebSphere. I really like how they are focusing on educating people about the whys, not just the whats. This is really helpful to people who are unfamiliar with the application server, database [read] Keywords: connections

Diane Loomis shares a quick story on using Activities
Wed, May 2nd 2012 2:24p Suzanne Livingston I wanted to share the effectiveness of Connections Activities in running a small project and, as a part of that, managing meetings and actions from meetings. I held a meeting this morning and a number of team members couldn't attend because of conflicts or the late notice. At the end of the day, eight hours after the meeting ended, most of the ToDos have been completed already, including those assigned to people who did not attend the meeting! In addition to the 'ToDo' items explicitly c [read] Keywords: connections

Lesson Learned
Fri, Apr 6th 2012 10:23a Joseph Russo Doing a set of user surveys recently, with college students - I learned this interesting item, something I've kind of "sought" in my designs and it was very exciting to hear it verbalized. In this test, one of the questions asked was, what 2 or 3 software applications do you use the most? When I asked a small group of students, they all came back with the same answer - Microsoft Office. Now, I prodded them a little and asked, do they use Office more frequently than say, they use, Fa [read] Keywords: administration

How do you work with the IBM Connections wiki?
Fri, Feb 24th 2012 6:44a Luis Benitez As we start planning for future releases of IBM Connections, we wanted to understand how users, for example, are using Wikis to ensure that we are investing in the right areas. Just like it doesn't make sense to invest in Internet Explorer 6 these days, we want to know how users are leveraging the editors in the Wikis component of IBM Connections. Currently, we support 3 editors in Wikis: Rich Text Editor, HTML Editor, and Wiki Text Editor. The three approaches to editing content are very [read] Keywords: connections
