Twitter, for those that don't know is a microblogging site or a simple updater or a virtual water coller or perhaps just a persistent chat room.
Lotus Sametime can do this and act like this as well, but you get added benefits of a secure IM session, encrypted, saved chats and a Persistent chat room, using Sametime Advanced.
Would a persistent chat room help you or your organization? Yes it would.
As a virtual water cooler, it can act as a place for out of office people or home workers to convene and meet up with the office staff.
Why is this different from normal chat or IM? Because everyone is in on it not just 2 or 3+ people.
So if you like Twitter and what it can do for you, your clients, customers and especially employees, ask me or your Lotus rep/Business Partner about how Sametime can help you today accomplish the same, if not more, productivity in a secure way.

Series P Brought to you by the letters A..I..X
As some know, my mission for the last few months was to upgrade a P series/AIX box to Domino R801. I will refer to it as an AIX box because that's how old it is.
And I think P series was a lousy name for a product which excellent brand recognition.
What you may not know is I am not a Unix person, sure I have installed Domino all over on everything, but one really needs to use this everyday to remember it all. If you must know I prefer AS/400's and Mainframes but bread and butter is Windows.
So I put it off while looking into more details. We did move the files there and install it, but it never took.
So as our machine comes to a halt figured it was time to do it again.
First stop? OS. Seems it is not the latest version and Domino threw a warning that we needed to update it.
Fine, go to IBM's site, locate a download spot for AIX, fill in the version, and it gives me what I need.
1.5GB of download updates.
Yes, 1.5GB, so let it run, then when done need to ftp it to the AIX box.
After some miscommunication with passwords of the root user I was able to install all 315 or so patches.
Decided I was too tired to install Domino now. Will do it tomorrow.
I have now relearned more about AIX than I remember and you know what, it feels good to do something different for a change.
Next up, Sametime integration with Quickr after rebuilding the Sametime cluster.
The fun never ends.
