Pre Partnerworld 2007 dinner talk about Lotus Connections


Tags :


I had the chance to take some other business partners to dinner last night while they are here for Partnerworld in St Louis.  We had the mixed conversations around business and fun.  One thing that came up was this very Lotus Connections site.  A lot of interest is being generated about the site and some of the wonderment of where it will take us.

Will it be the start of a BP "MySpace" or "FaceBook" with no long term inherent value?  Or will it grow into a full networking, people locator, community of interest, project (activity) sharing and link sharing that you would dream.  Can it handle the influx of visitors it will generate soon?  Where the heck is the integrated Sametime? 

Sit back with me and watch. Martha Mealy posted about the attempt to find relevant statistics for collection.  I strongly agree with that question she put out to everyone.  What are valuable stats?  Number of hits? no.  Number of communities? no.  Usage patterns of features? yes.  Blog entries? no.  Profiles? no.  Searches against profiles? yes.

the list grows....
