What is in a name...06/15/2005 09:17 AM
Category : IBM/Lotus

Yesterday, IBM/Lotus made a significant announcement at the Deutches
Notes Users Group (DNUG) conference
in Hanover, Germany. It is evident from that announcement and the
coverage it got that Notes is not only not dead but it has an exciting
future. Ed
Brill documents the coverage
in his blog.
IBM/Lotus also announced yesterday in
a more subtle way that they were bringing back the Sametime and Quickplace
names for the products that were renamed by the marketing department to
something totally forgettable. This move is the subject of a lot
of interest among the partners, We have been asking "Why?"
since the original name change, and yes, many of us have resisted using
the new names, mostly because they are so forgettable.
Richard Schwartz sums up my feelings
about this name thing in his blog.
