Bruce and Julian got a chance to talk to Mikkel Heisterberg about his new "TwitNotes" sidebar plugin for Notes 8, that allows you to access Twitter directly from the Lotus Notes client. We talked about things like:

  • How hard (or easy) is it to develop sidebar plugins for Notes 8?
  • What tools do you need to get started?
  • The plugin is free, but is it open source?
  • Is this just one more example of how important Java is for Notes developers now?
If you want to install the TwitNotes plugin for Notes 8 -- and why not? It's free! -- go to http://lekkimworld.com/twitnotes for detailed instructions.

Ben Langhinrichs tells us all about the Lotusphere Session database -- how it works, what's new this year, and why he started doing it in the first place! That database is an invaluable resource for Lotusphere attendees, especially PRIOR to going to Lotusphere as you are trying to figure out what sessions to attend. And, thanks to the Turtle partnership, there is an online version of the database as well as a version you can use to sync with your Blackberry.

Ben also lets on about a new feature he'll be adding soon, to help you out with your coffee breaks. Yeehaw.
