The Nostalgia has dropped suddenly

but only temporarily. I have been doing some Lotusphere nostalgia things just for a while and then came to end abruptly.. Well, i normally i am a good basher of myself but this time around i am not going to do that. I had to handle quite a few things in between and just couldn't sit and blog.

Frankly, it's a little bit hard to keep with things that's happening around you and then also allocate time to write about it.. But i would like to tell you this, i enjoy doing this work and so i can make some time. It's just that i am a bit lost in organizing all this properly. At times, i will think a bit complicated and cannot think SIMPLE. 

Meanwhile, i am finding my way out to manage all these and already doing some home projects towards that. Having said that, there is indeed some good news that is coming up. Please stay tuned. I will try to update as and when things happen or may be a bit later ;) 

As far Lotusphere 2011, there were some excellent all around news from LS2011 as well. I will have to read all the contents available and hear from friends before writing anything about it. But one thing is clear to me, IBM is  taking more of the Lotus Connections route to re-brand the entire Lotus portfolio which will compete with Google more than MS. I think the strategy is very good indeed and a very long term vision. With all the push from MS around SharePoint I think companies are discussing more about Google than MS. At least IBM is giving that sort of a feeling but will have to wait and see.

Another certain thing is Lotus UI is going to change in the years to come and end users will start getting a feeling that finally the software is their own rather than only for developers and administrators. This will surely increase user adoption rate and we will hear some day from CIO's that my users are asking for Lotus and so we have to make a switch. The perception is going to change sooner than latter :)

Good day people... Cheers
