Why IBM doesn’t host Domino/Notes on a large scale is beyond me. It’s not like they don’t have the hardware to do it. Given the potential market it would be a very “cheap” investment.

Think about it.

INTEGRATED Mail, Calendaring, To-do lists, IM, Document Mangement, CRM – all of it available as web OR rich-client and fully synchronized in a bi-directional way with disconnected use. Your local store in disconnected mode is also highly secure. In addition the synchronization process is highly optmized for bandwidth usage because it does field level checks on what to synchronize etc. Advanced users can selectively choose what to synchronize at a very granular level.

Is anybody here looking for what I just said? Raise your hands.

If they would *just* host it in a *BIG* way..I think they still have a lead of 18-24 months before anyone else actually makes it real. Most likely Google.

Is there someone out there who has enough influence on the right people to grab them by the collar and give them a shake?

James, Stephen, Cote, anyone? They already have what everyone is still trying to build..
