ITWire: Lotus Notes creator says Google Wave violates Web 06/10/2009 08:34:01 AMLocation : Cleveland, OH
Interesting article in that the author, David Williams, shows some love for Lotus Notes before launching into his take on a recent interview of Ray Ozzie and Google Wave.
The upshot of the article? Ray Ozzie says that Google Wave is "anti-web" and that Live Mesh is a good, internet friendly application.

First up, let me confess I will always have a soft spot for Lotus Domino. Ok, the user interface has inspired many postings on usability blogs, let alone a web site entirely devoted to “demonstrating that Lotus Notes sucks” (which, ironically, is a bit of a design mess itself.)
Yes, the Lotus Notes mail client has left many a CEO and executive cursing its lack of similarity to Microsoft Outlook.
However, from an administrative and development point of view I found it not without some charms. I could exercise fine control over the system’s operation and configuration and replicate it around the network with ease.
Additionally, as a development platform the ease in which e-mail integrated database applications could be churned out was delightful. Migrating a company’s e-mail platform from Lotus Domino to Microsoft Exchange is one thing, but migrating Lotus Notes applications to SharePoint is something else entirely.
The upshot of the article? Ray Ozzie says that Google Wave is "anti-web" and that Live Mesh is a good, internet friendly application.
