This Week in Lotus
This Week in Lotus 110 - Pardon the Interruption!
Recorded on 16th January 2013. We meet with Louis Richardson, Mitch Cohen, Colleen Burns and Joyce Davis to discuss Connect 2013 - the sessions, the social, the buzz, the online communities and much more!
As I mentioned in the episode, for the third consecutive year, we'll be recording a live show with studio audience at IBM Connect! That's your chance to question the panel, add your comments, heckle and even throw things! Look out for more details on location and time in the next few days! Darren and I would love to see you there…

Hosts: Stuart McIntyre (blog | twitter | company) & Darren Duke (blog | twitter | company)
Guests: Louis Richardson (blog | twitter | company) serves as a WW Social Business Evangelist for IBM. In his role he has conversations with companies regarding the value of incorporating social in their organizations. He’s a frequent conference speaker and shares his presentations and messages externally using Slideshare and YouTube Mitch Cohen (blog | twitter) Manages a global deployment of Notes & Domino, Sametime, Connections, and Quickr, and roots for the NY Giants and the NY Mets Colleen Burns (blog | twitter | linkedin) leads Influencer Relations for IBM Social Business, working with and listening closely to social business experts and thought leaders. Joyce Davis (blog | twitter | linkedin) is community manager for IBM in the Collaboration Solutions or “Lotus” division. I help bring together clients, business partners and IBMers to share their knowledge and collaborate. I’ve “bled yellow” since 1983 when I used Lotus 1-2-3 version 1A for DOS to manage the WW Technical Education course schedule as an IBM co-op. (I was an infant, of course.) I joined Lotus full-time in 1993. I’ve worked in MANY different roles at IBM over the last 18 years including technical support, people management, project management, communications, program management and now community management. I’m a mom, wife, flutist, Apple fangirl, and social network addict. Although I wasn’t born in Austin, I got here as fast as I could about 35 years ago.

Tips:
Darren:
Mat Newman’s session DB.
New TweetDeck has a column called “Interactions”, that is the same as the “Connect” feature in mobile and web Twitter. It’s just not visible by default but is great if you are an ASW like me.
