The Connections Blog

Hopefully by now all readers of this blog will be aware of the 'Twitter-like' status messages available in the forthcoming Lotus Connections 2.5 release.  These updates are similar to those used in Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, Identica etc, and hence there are obvious benefits to the integration of Connections with these outside cloud-based services.  

Luis Benitez details just one of the many approaches that the Connections community is taking to this opportunity:

Twitter drives innovation...

If you are actively using social networks, you've probably heard of ping.fm. Ping.fm allows users to update their status in the following services from any of the following clients:



So from a single place you can update all of your statuses. And you can do this from different places. You are NOT forced to go to ping.fm's website to update your status. Ping.fm can receive status updates from various sources and then send them to your sites.

Pretty cool, huh? Well, I saw a tweet suggesting that updating your Lotus Connections status from ping.fm would be valuable too. Wouldn't it be cool if we could update Lotus Connections status from SMS, Skype, AOL, and other !?! I agreed and took the challenge upon myself.

Luis has already started this work and is after some feedback.  Go read his post and see what you think...
