They say that a picture is worth while a thousand words but what happens when you get your hands on a whole bunch of cool pictures around two of the IBM Lotus social computing tools that are creating some incredible buzz over at IBM’s Lotusphere 2007 currently taking place this week?:

Thanks, Rob!, for sending those pictures along! I knew I had to be there! Time now to continue reading some more!
Oh, did you, folks, also check out Lotusphere in Second Life? Sigh. I didn’t make it in the end either as I had another conflict at 10am EST, but it seems like it was plenty of good fun! Anyone out there who attended it live who care to comment and share their thoughts?

Hi Raj!
Thanks a lot for the trackback and for the plug! Yes, from what I have been able to see it has been a huge success and certainly something to look forward to for next year!

[...] I am sure that by now you may have heard about the different components themselves. Perhaps even checked out some of the screen shots of what they would look like (Rob shared some of them over there as well) during the course of 2007. However, I thought I would share a couple of quick comments on why I feel that each of the different components would eventually be making plenty of sense as part of the overall offering, because if there is anything really interesting about this particular Enterprise 2.0 application is the fact that we find a whole bunch of social computing areas put together under a single focal point of entry to make the final product: Lotus Connections.
