Maybe I am confused, or is it this article writer, or IDC and Gartner that really is?

He is the starting point, before I even get
into the article.
The new widgets certainly
can't hurt, given IBM's struggle to maintain its place in the market for
integrated collaborative environments. Both IDC and Gartner Inc. recently
came out with studies showing that Microsoft Corp.'s Exchange rules the
market, with IBM's Lotus Notes barely keeping pace.
The
article is actually
about the new 'prefab blogging' being added to Workplace. Nothing
to do with either product above in my opinion. Now maybe I have been
booted from the server a few too many times, but what the heck does collaboration,
Workplace and blogging have to do with Exchange? Domino can blog,
Domino can collaborate. Exchange? Hrmmmm.
The article continues on to ask if blogging
will help IBM catch up. I am not sure, but how many Exchange back-end
blogs are out there? Am I missing something? Exchange 12? Sure,
they are talking about it, plus embedded RSS abilities. Through some cool
partners, we already have these RSS feed readers based in Domino. Portable,
replicatable, searchable. Let's see that one.
All this from an article
writer (Lisa Vaas) and editor
that has been around eWeek since 1995?
