iPhone is too Cool for Business Use
Category IBM/Lotus Domino
- An pseudonymous satrical author has roasted the Lotus Domino iPhone implementation, which has created a reaction from Ed Brill, Bruce Elgort, Christopher Byrne, and others. I'm not citing the originating piece which has created some angst, because I'd prefer not to be another notch in the satirists' Google index.
- Welcome to the big game. Lotus is a media target, like it or not, that's just the way it is. What's the likelihood that a comparable article could have been penned regarding, say, Tivoli? Or DB2? So what that Lotus Notes carries baggage with it--any product in IT which has exceeded a decade in use and has a 140 million users is going to have its legacy issues.

- On the other hand, the satirist who used to be anonymous, was smoked out, and now is a known entity of his own making, who is slowly building up his own heritage. Truthfully, if you were at some industry soirée, and were approached by Mr. Wiseacre, wouldn't you want to turn your name badge around? I thought so. Hm, that's his legacy.
