Revisiting the Sametime Plug-in Catalog
Tags :Sametime
It has been a while since I had wandered over to the plug-in catalog site so it was time to see what new things partners had added. There now seems to be only 25 entries into the catalog. A bunch of new VoIP type plug-ins are there but they require additional services to function, like servers that fit into your existing VoIP or POTS systems. Interestingly enough, there is now quite a few alternative meeting plug-ins or add-ons for the Sametime meeting services. I find that interesting. Does it imply that the current Sametime meeting offering is not functional enough?
I would also have imagined that the catalog would have grown in leaps with over 100 million users out there. I know IBM has a bunch internally that are not loose in the wild, those are the kinds of samples that help sell the product. We need more plug-ins to show what the product can do. Widgets are being developed across Yahoo and other IM's at a record pace, I am hoping the same shows for Sametime soon from a bunch of handy developers.
