]]> Comment on The power of open standards and public interfaces by admin http://communicat.us/blog/p/134#comment-232 admin Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:00:21 +0000 http://communicat.us/blog/p/134#comment-232 Brian - Great writeup on microblogging for Lotus Connections. One question - any idea why your "glue" UI in the video is different than what I posted in my blog ? I'm on the fence about plugins vs standalone options. My challenge has been that Notes and Sametime are great for their desired functions but can get bogged down by plugin performance and resource usage. I don't know if it's a case of the Eclipse container or the efficiency of the plugin(s). Also, thanks for point out the feed links broke. They use to be "smart" and allow feeds to the blog, categories, or individual posts' comments. Sadly, I must have broken something. For now, I have set the feed options to always give the blog - since that is the most common use case. :-) Brian – Great writeup on microblogging for Lotus Connections.

By the way, your blog looks interesting and I would like to subscribe, but the neither the RSS or Atom feed links work (they give different error messages). I wonder if you could fix this? Thanks. Brian Glenn,

C&A in government starts at the network and hardware, and a particular "capability" is certified on a particular platform (from the bottom up). In a Cloud how do you do that, certify every possible capability on every possibly node/configuration, ... in the Cloud? Just a thought.

Yes, ability to view blogs on it is remarkable, but to what extent? To the extent of annoying bloggers with no revenue? The revenue model Kindle promotes lacks luster and does not promise great revenue. Better if Amazon revises its plans to benefit bloggers greatly.
