Where is the love?


From IBM's new Web 2.0 Developer e-Kit, we see the following on the list:

How does Lotus support Web 2.0?
    * IBM Lotus Connections. ...
    * IBM WebSphere Portal. ...
    * IBM Lotus Quickr. ...
    * IBM Lotus Expeditor. ...
    * IBM Lotus Sametime. ...
    * IBM Lotus Forms. ...

Well, we all make mistakes (except apparently, Tony Romo, that punk!) so I'll wait for IBM's correction on this page, but just a brief reminder once again to technical marketing...

Domino Web Access (then known as iNotes) was the first commercial web 2.0 application ever.  Are we clear?

I said ARE WE CLEAR!?

While I realize there's lot of work to do to improve Domino's web 2.0 development support, if you can list EXPEDITOR as a Web 2.0 platform, you can certainly list Domino.  You might remember incorporating such technologies as RSS, blogging, web services, and XML REST transactions.

Thank you.

(This community correction has been brought to you by the letter R and the number 5.)

ADDENDUM: Strangely, this is what I got in my email right after my initial post...

Thank you for registering for the Lotus Web 2.0 Developer kit. You may also want to check out additional complimentary resources, including trial versions of IBM Lotus software highlighted in the kit. These downloads are complete versions of the specified Lotus products, available at no charge for your review.

To access these trials, visit these developerWorks trial pages:

Trial: Lotus Domino
Trial: Lotus Notes, Domino Designer, and Domino Administrator clients


And as long as I'm in corrections mode, here's a common slipup.  I do it all the time, too...

"Complimentary" means saying something nice or flattering.  As in paying a compliment.

"Complementary" means supplying mutual needs or offsetting mutual lacks.

Domino Designer would be complimentary if when you start it, it puts up a message box that says "You are a force to be reckoned with.  You have unmatched skills and an unwavering discipline in using them.  You are breathtakingly gorgeous.  Oh, and you're well-endowed."

Which, of course, it does on my machine.

1 - Umm - do you have proof of your amorous machine?Emoticon

2 - LOL! That is too good for a Friday!

3 - I've seen his Domino Designer pop-up screen. It looks like a legit message to me, but I think he's hacked it to do that!

4 - Amen and ?ReadViewEntries, ?ReadViewDesign was supplying us with AJAX style applications way before the rest of the web world knew what AJAX was! Emoticon
