Sametime Web Connect API only works with primary community sorry bleedyellow.
Category WebConnect Bleedyellow
With a large number of blog readers using the IM.BLEEDYELLOW.COM server, I thought it might be cool if I could get a chat with me icon on my blog, that would be shown if the user read was using the Sametime 8.0.1 client (or Notes 8.0.1 with the additional plug-in) Web Connect capability. I tried it, and I couldn't get awareness for Bleedyellow users. From my testing it looks like the WebConnect API will only provide awareness for users in the first community. I tried a number of formats to try and make the community work, preceded names with im.bleedyellow.com: but still not luck. If I made Bleedyellow my primary community then awareness worked fine. My guess is that most bleedyellow users, do not have it set as their default community. I really wish IBM would figure out the whole community thing, it should be much easier to switch default community on the fly, versus having to reset the user in order to switch it.
Sadly I can't find any technotes on WebConnect so the only documentation is what comes in the toolkit. If an IBMer that worked on this feature is reading, please let me know if my findings are correct.

It would be nice to see a solution/fix from IBM on this.
