Tips
Darren:
MIB Browser help make sense of SNMP MIB files and find the OID you need. Great free tool.
Sharon:
IBM innovation centres – all over the world, 2 in the UK for use via business partners or ISVs
Lisa
Other podcasts: Taking Notes, the 1352 Report, Dogear Nation, Social Geeks and Get Social Do Business. Also STS events.
Stuart:
LotusLive meetings app for iOS – works great. But IBM must retire the old 7-digit Sametime Unyte meetings that are incompatible. Also, needs to offer audio through the app too.
