LinkJam is the perfect solution for IBM Lotus Notes and Domino shops that want to explore social bookmarking but can't afford IBM's Lotus Connections. LinkJam is a pure IBM Lotus Domino application that you can have running on your existing Lotus infrastructure. No new hardware and no new software. It works with Domino 6.5.x, 7.x and 8.x. It just works.

LinkJam is rapidly approaching a public beta. We also have some really cool news to share about LinkJam and IdeaJam in the near future. Stay tuned.

Looking great! I like the idea that this doesn't require a DB2 or WAS server or some kind of combination that runs on a different box to the Domino server. As a small business, the hardware requirements for IBM solutions is getting crazy. This solution just goes to show that the Domino server is capable of more than being a mail server.

I do believe that DB2 and WAS have a purpose in the world, but for a company my size (and hundreds of thousands of other companies) it's overkill.

Great work LinkJam team. One of the most important things about Dogear is not the site itself, but the access points to it. For example, I see you have a big "Add a Link" button. With Dogear (of Digg, Delicious, etc) you don't go to the site to add a link, you add it from the site you are on. The bookmarks are also accessible from various places, for example Notes sidebar, you don't have to go to the Dogear page. Please keep that in mind, and create buttons to "LinkJam" a page, rather than having to go to LinkJam.

@Alan,

We have that feature. It's part of the V1.0 and it works AWESOME. Thanks for pointing this out.
