When I was asked to wrote my article about Lotus Notes for theInfoBOOM.com (which was a great success, btw – so THANK YOU for viewing/participating in that with me!) I suggested to a few people at IBM that Ed Brill would be a great person to get to write a column as well.
As Ed pointed out in his blog, it was a bit odd that I ended up writing about Notes while he wrote about social media (those topics ended up being chosen completely independent from one another). Now that his article is posted on theInfoBOOM.com I think Ed was quite right in saying that our selection of topics gave us each a more authentic voice. If Ed would have talked about Notes, it could have been perceived as an ad. Likewise, if I would have talked about blogging/social media – it would have had far less of an impact since my posts come from the perspective of someone outside of Lotus/IBM.
Its a good article and I encourage you to go read it and post a comment.
Oh… and see you at Lotusphere! (If you’re like me, you’re frantically finishing up as many projects as possible to have a clear mind down there … and in anticipation of coming back with hundreds of new ideas!)
