Live Blogging the "Blogger Teleconference from Enterprise Web 2.0 in IBM"

by Chris Miller at 08:29:07 AM on Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

This call was an open format for Q&A which was a nice change. (I lost some text in live saving somehow, will try and recover it)

Rod Smith, VP of Emerging Technology in IBM started the discussion on where IBM will be headed in Web 2.0 in the Enterprise.

Carol Jones, fellow of IBM, was the other panel member.. she is always excellent in her answers

Lotus will rely on input from the consumer (ie employees) to help drive feature requests of such products like Lotus Connections
Nathan Freeman asked a question looking for early adopter stories and successes
Chris Byrne asked about having a personal network, like LinkedIn, without adding everyone from a tag or group. Carol said they have a lot of work going on in that area that wasn't in the product yet.
Dana G asks about how IBM is already using open source and where 2.0 intersects with tools and functionality, applications, widgets and whether IBM will bring all this open source and Web 2.0 future. Rod talks to the IBM participation into AJAX, Dojo and Eclipse.
Neil Ward-Dutton asked a beyond the technology question on how IBM is looking beyond software and into consulting in how to leverage the new technology innovations. I say they sell Lotus Connections. Rod said that business strategy becomes a component of engagements continually.
Chris Byrne asked about any response to the Microsoft plug-in announcement for Sharepoint
Nathan asked about the implementation of the new products and how to simplify them.. Carol said Lotus Connections was a simple install. Nathan took objection to that and I tend to agree. While the blog portion is based on Roller, the entire Lotus Connections package requires quite a bit of installation and configuration. Rod agreed that the cost would be large for smaller companies to launch a full Lotus Connections implementation, so hosting and other offerings becomes important. Chris Byrne chimed in about the complex architecture. Rod said they see other programming models in the future might need inclusion for simplification or changes.
I asked about the ever changing the architecture in the future based on Web 2.0 growth and enhancements and the scare of rip-and-replace challenge and adding new features/options from the public Web 2.0 world. Carol took on that challenge.
A quick roll-call to see if Volker was on the call, yes he was
A asked about better integration and future integration into Notes 8, like multiple plug-ins for Activities in the same client. Carol took the initial tackle and then I tuned i and we took it offline for later
Rod took last questions to head off to a mash-up
Chris Byrne looked for online demos and was pointed to YouTube
Stuart McIntyre jumped in and asked about Info 2.0. Rod stated it was a suite to take information from multiple places (DB2, syndication) and then a tool to help merge and filter feeds. Then catalog them with tagging and mash them up. All of this in a Web 2.0 package. They are looking towards the end of summer for some type of beta and then GA end of year of later. A news feed server was also mentioned

Character Bio:

This will take far more time than I have today. I will start with I was born and still live in St. Louis, MO. Even though for a couple years I was never, ever here and always on the road, this is smack in the middle of the US. Everything is just a few hour flight. That part is nice. No beach/ocean/coast isn't the best. But with the travel I make up for it.
