“Led by strong sales of IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8 in the second quarter of 2008, IBM’s Lotus software business outgrew Microsoft by winning millions of customer seats worldwide in direct competition with Microsoft, aided by key wins over its Redmond-based rival in emerging markets.”

“With 15 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, IBM’s flagship Lotus Notes and Domino products has been transformed into a versatile tool that consolidates the individual’s work world onto one screen, employs Web 2.0 technologies and reduces time spent on email. Lotus Notes and Domino adoption has grown to more than 140 million licenses…”

This comes after I spent my first morning back at work with a customer looking at Domino as a replacement for Exchange.

Remember Friends Reunited? It was all the rage for a while, but now sites like Facebook have taken over in terms of popularity. Poor old Friends Reunited have even had to drop the charges for their services. Every now and again, Friends Reunited send me an e-mail to tell me who’s recently added themselves to my schools or workplaces – not exactly a great deal of activity on that front.

Stay tuned for reasons why I shouldn’t add myself to Corporation Street, Aberystwyth.
