Carl Tyler's Blog

1 - What happened at the party?

2 - Are you and Ed Brill at the same event?

3 - Tony's right -- it's weird, Carl, you are about the only one who seems to have been consistently negative about LS05.

4 - Consistently negative would mean there is not a single positive statement in this blog entry:

I don't believe that is the case.

Was I dissapointed with what felt like cheapness around the treatment of exhibitors this year over past and the product showcase then yes, but I think you'll find that's true with a lot of exhibitors and not just me.

I can't comment on the sessions, and haven't commented on the sessions, as I didn't attend any.

My comments about Sametime cannot be interpreted as negative if they are true/fact.

My comments from customers regarding Workplace are what they stated, their IBM sales reps will already know their feelings, not sure facts again can be considered negative and I'd be happy to provide the customer details offline.

Was I dissapointed with coverage for Sametime and other products like Quickplace, and negative about that? you betcha.

I did hear great things about Activity Center, not sure that can be interpeted as negative?


As I said I got to meet some great people, closed some sales, not sure I'd call either negative for me.

5 - Whilst I agree that their was a lot of postitive information at Lotusphere, the I agree with Carl re the lack of coverage of Sametime and QuickPlace. The 6.5.1 upgrades were very minor, and there does not seem to be much visible updates in 7.0. I look forward to being surprised. I would love to see a more up to date Connect client. Current version is just functional, but a bit datde looking now!
