Comments on: Is Web 2.0 Going To Trump Unified Communications? http://broaddev.com/2008/07/14/is-web-20-going-to-trump-unified-communications/ Tracking UC, Virtutalization, Security, Web 2.0 All Day and All Night Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:07:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: John Furrier http://broaddev.com/2008/07/14/is-web-20-going-to-trump-unified-communications/#comment-313 John Furrier Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:13:34 +0000 http://broaddev.com/?p=78#comment-313 Great ping from BroadSoft. Alex Doyle has a good post over there at BroadSoft.com. I am suggesting that UC shouldn’t be a closed solution from one vendor. In fact I see it that the hosting piece is critical for the customers to define their service modules. Having a bolted on fully integrated services isn’t the future. The hosting side is very exciting. Web 2.0 is not fully understood but from a practical perspective the ‘lock-in’ in UC isn’t viable long term. BroadDev blog picked the categories to cover UC, Virtualization, Security, and Web 2.0 because to me UC cuts across all those areas. We are so beyond PBX solutions in this arena. Companies shouldn’t be forced into a choice they should choose the best for their environment. Great ping from BroadSoft. Alex Doyle has a good post over there at BroadSoft.com.

I found that quote to be a bit over the top and unverified. Most people don't know that IBM internally is highly connected. What also is interesting is how the quote is used to make IBM look irrelevant. Not fair by infoworld. Ted,

The reason is all IBMers automatically get a Connections profiles while LinkedIn is opt-in. There is one major difference between social networking inside the organization vs consumer driven sites.
