It appears, however, that Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging (SIMPLE) is emerging as the leading standard. In fact, Lotus and AOL are working on a SIMPLE server-to-server interoperability trial.

The $43 million all-stock deal enables divine to couple content management with collaboration, something analysts say Lotus has not been able to accomplish. SOURCE: InformationWeek http://www.informationweek.com/story/IWK20010918S0005 [2] "Hard-to-track Nimda worm may be peaking" Nimda outbreaks in servers worldwide are lessening, according to security experts, but those same experts admit they may never know how many PCs are infected. One agency tracking the number of infections originally placed it at 150,000 worldwide, but by late yesterday, that number had dropped to 66,000; a better reduction rate than Code Red. Nimda spreads in PCs via e-mail and shared network disks, and in servers, by exploiting one of 16 access points in vulnerable machines running unpatched versions of Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) software.

We were unable to obtain confirmation on this story before our newsletter deadline. Lotus has since denied the story's accuracy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ================================================= SPONSORED BY: ZIPMAIL ================================================= *** ZIPMAIL *** COMPRESSION FOR LOTUS NOTES *** Server space or bandwidth problems?

For the first time, the word "sex" is not among the top 10 search terms on the Internet. Sex has been displaced by news and information relative to the terrorist attacks. An official with AltaVista said more people are putting "Osama bin Laden" into their search boxes than "Pamela Lee Anderson," and Old Glory herself (the American flag) is stirring more interest in cyberspace than Britney Spears. Google reported a search surge for words like "CNN," "World Trade Center," "Taliban" and "American Red Cross," but none of them was as sought-after as the word "Nostradamus." People wanted to know just how valid that "Nostradamus predicted this" e-mail was. (It wasn't.)
