The Elguji Development team is hard at work on a new social bookmarking tool for the enterprise called LinkJam. LinkJam is very similar to dec.licio.us and IBM's Lotus Connections Dogear application. Like IdeaJam, LinkJam will be easy to install, configure and use and is specificallty designed for companies running IBM's Lotus Notes and Domino. All at an affordable price.
Stay tuned for details or if you can't wait contact Gayle our sales gal for a possible sneak peak.

Both PureEdge and Bowstreet were Lotus BPs. We've also hired several Lotus BPs as employees.

Both acquisitions were at the end of 2005. So sorry... 2.5 years ago.
Also, while not specifically "BPs", there has been the hiring of Rocky and Bob (yes, I know they have left) Mac Guidera, Stephan Wissel, Brian Benz, Steve Castledine , Chris Blatnic, Rob Wunderlich, and I am sure others that I am missing.

Have you seen this list of Google's acquisitions:

Since 2001 Google = 50
Since 2001 IBM = 55
So do we win? <a href ="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IBM_acquisitions_and_spinoffs">link</a>
Not sure where this is going, being that my original post was about how much I like what Elguji is doing that I teased IBM should buy it.

Specifically designed for companies that use Lotus Notes/Domino? Does that mean you deal with doclinks as well as URLs?
Comment posted by Bruce04/22/2008 08:41:53 PM
@Richard - not necessarily. Our software runs on Domino and is an easy app to add to a Notes/Domino infrastructure.
But doclinks........now that's on our "list".

As far as I'm concerned, the holy grail of social bookmarking for the Notes community would be a system that allows drag-and-drop creation of bookmarks for both web links and doclinks. I tried that a few years ago, and ran into a brick wall with getting doclink data off the clipboard since the formats are not documented (not to mention being tied into Windows OLE stuff). But supposedly Notes 8 is now putting a notes:// style URL on the clipboard for drag-drop operations. I haven't checked it yet, but if true that should make the grail achievable at least for Notes 8 users.

@Richard...We're able to "Dogear" Lotus Notes documents from within our Notes 8 client with a simple click of a button. Cool stuff, that Connections! 
That said, for those companies that can't or won't roll out Connections for some reason, LinkJam will be an awesome solution.

@Chris -- a click of a button is great, but drag-drop is still my holy grail because it just works from anywhere in the Notes client with no programming in the application.
