Lotusphere - The Opening Session
Posted by Jess in Lotusphere2006

There's really not much I can say that others haven't already said better...but two things that I don't think have been mentioned yet.

Sametime 7.5 has a REALLY cool new feature that if all email/chat programs had, I really believe it would help create world peace.

You can crop a segment of a screenshot, and drag it into the Rich-text interface, and it sends it across the chat client. Does anyone have ANY idea how much time this is going to save us all on a daily basis? I'm already planning what I'm going to do with all that extra time.

Google desktop searches through your Notes mail file? Amazing. This will be extremely helpful when I need to find an attachment and I'm not sure if I've already saved it somewhere on my desktop, or if it's still in email. One search, and I'll have it.<

I do have to 'fess up about one thing with the opening session. They showed a 4-minute generic movie clip about "The Future", which included some hokey bits with this woman speaking in a sultry voice about "new technologies are making things possible we have only dreamed about" while simultaneously showing a father tucking his child into bed.

Did this remind anyone else of the little tongue-in-cheek movie you get to watch about Cyberdyne right before Terminator 3D at Universal Studios?

More to come while I still attend sessions...
