The Taking Notes Podcast

   
Taking Notes Episode 63: 2007.06.27 - Lotus Connections with Mac Guidera 6.27.2007
Mac Guidera, Senior IT Specialist on the IBM consulting team, talks about the new (and soon to be released) Lotus Connections product, including:
  • Tags and tagging
  • Web 2.0-ish-ness
  • The 5 "pillars" of Connections: Profiles, Communities, Blogs, Dogear, and Activities
  • Activities tie-ins to Lotus Notes 8
According to the Connections datasheet on the IBM site, Connections will be available for GA electronic download on June 29th (same day as Quickr, and some Apple thing), so hurry up and learn about it.

If you want more information, listen to the
Lotus Collaboration Summit Online teleconference (probably in replay as you read this), check out the Lotus Greenhouse, or watch a Flash demo. It's all good.

This podcast also features another new "
Interface Matters" segment with Chris Blatnick. The whole kit and kaboodle is 27.6mb and runs 1:00:19 at 64kps.
