Lycos Mixed in with Lotus Notes

from the sneaking-in dept

Well, everyone is making a big deal of Lycos's latest move: to get integrated into Lotus Notes. Interesting concept, and will probably draw some traffic, but I'm not sure I'm totally clear on how this works. Luckily for me, I never use Lotus Notes any more, so I might never have to find out.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

    Lo-cus Notes??

    you bring up an interesting point, but a bigger discussion comes to mind, that of knowledge mgmt/collaboration. companies like lotus and microsoft are banking that collaboration is going to be the next big thing, but customers aren't biting. notes and exchange battle every day, but i think the tech companies are underestimating the fundamental behavioral changes required internally to get collab to work.

    This "lo-cus" partnership is an interesting one (offering access to a portal to extend the collab features) but does it do much from a productivity standpoint? i find it hard to imagine that "several million new users" will adopt Notes as a result of this deal. on the other hand, not a bad deal for lycos building on a base of 38MM business users
