Looks like IBM is taking a first web towards open collaboration – integrating services like LinkedIn, Tripit, Skype, Flickr, Salesforce etc. This, to me, is a definite first step towards re-defining the way enterprise applications and fuelling social collaboration across the enterprise. I think I am going to follow this closely.

Edit: Another piece of interesting information – “IBM Announces Lotus Notes ActiveSync Support For iPhone”. This is what I have really been waiting for. Now the question is – whether companies will allow their corporate emails to sit in employees’ personal phones? Or will companies start investing in iPhones instead of Blackberries?

What are your thoughts about this development?
