Welcome to BleedYellow!
Chris Whisonant
Lotus 911 is pleased to announce that registration is now open at BleedYellow.com. BleedYellow is a Lotus Connections site open to all those who bleed yellow. After registering at the site, you will be able to work with all of the components.
- Profiles - "are a directory of the people in your organization as well as information you need to form and encourage effective networks. In addition to basic information captured in a business card format, profiles catalog skills such as technical expertise, familiarity with foreign languages, and areas of interest."
- Communities - "are groups of people with a common interest. A public community is available for all to join, while a private community is restricted to a particular group. A community provides a central spot for users to stay in touch, share information and exchange ideas."
- Blogs - "are online journals you can use to broadcast information to a community in an efficient, dynamic style. In a business setting, blogs let you deliver timely information with a personal touch. Let users know about a product launch. Keep your sales team in the loop. Or spread the word on company events. Get the word out with a blog!"
- Dogear - "a tool for organizing your bookmarks, extends your ability to track online sites that are of interest to you. You can optionally share collections of bookmarks to create a network of knowledge."
- Activities - "provides a new way of Web-based collaborating that lets you organize work around what you are doing rather than what tool you are using. Activity-centric computing lets you organize, share, and reuse work, even if that work involves several types of tools."
Another component of BleedYellow is a Lotus Sametime Instant Messaging server. Don't forget to add the im.bleedyellow.com server as a new community in your Sametime Client (using port 1533) and have a central location to chat with others who bleed yellow.
