This morning at Lotusphere – IBM’s 15th annual conference for clients and business partners on the current state and future of collaboration – IBM and Socialtext announced plans to integrate the Socialtext wiki with the Lotus Connections 2.0 platform. The combined solution was demoed on stage by Jeff Schick, IBM’s Vice President of Lotus Connections, who discussed how communities using the Connections platform will now be able to create their own dedicated wiki workspaces, powered by Socialtext, for online collaboration. The formal press release from IBM has yet to cross the wire, but should be available shortly at the IBM online press room. More information can be found in Burton Group analyst Mike Gotta’s blog or IBM employee Alan Lepofsky’s blog.
