At Lotusphere this week, IBM announced a midyear upgrade to their Lotus Sametime instant messenger that will provide interoperability with AIM, Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk. Lotus Sametime 7.5 will also include a mainstay of the consumer instant messaging market: emoticons or “smileys.”

IBM is also planning to incorporate “click-to-call” web-based voice calls through deals with Avaya, Nortel, Polycom, Premiere Global Services, Siemens AG and Tandberg ASA.

Conspicuously absent from this list was Microsoft, who markets a competing enterprise product. Unlike Microsoft, whose Live Communications Server offers connectivity to Yahoo! and AIM for a price, Lotus Sametime connectivity will be included at no additional cost.

The walls keep crumbling…

Pardon the dust... but we are shaking things up at BigBlueBall. The site has been through a couple of evolutions, and this marks the latest and best yet!

Are you sick and tired of "Top 10" lists that don't really help you make decisions that will improve your life? That's a pet peeve of mine, too, and I'm doing something about it.

No more crap about the myriad of choices out there. Just the best choice. The right choice. The one fill-in-the-blank that rules them all. And all of them are vetted by us... through personal use and experience. These are the tools, the gadgets, the apps, the websites and the lifehacks that we use every day. No bullshit. Just good advice for better living.
