Lotus, Microsoft and Novell offer browser access to their messaging and collaboration servers, but it is largely limited to e-mail and calendar features.

The company's chief executive officer said although the company is reshuffling its other product lines, GroupWise is not on the list.

Major players, including Computer Associates International, IBM, iPlanet, Lotus, Microsoft, Oracle and Sybase, have recently released portals. A host of other vendors, including Brio Technology, BroadVision, Corechange, Plumtree Software, Tibco Software and Viador, offers portal products. There are big differences in the capabilities of different portal servers. Here is a look at some of the trends in the technology.

The software is called Project Real-time Asynchronous Communications or iPlanet Instant Messenger beta 3.0. IBM and Microsoft already have instant messaging software.

New features include security, scalability and the capability of bringing groups together to work within applications. A number of nimble IM vendors are squaring off with large corporate collaboration players such as Lotus Development and Microsoft in a fight to win the business market.

It is code-named Shimmer and now is in test mode. Lotus says the lightweight client will do much of what the fully loaded, Notes client used to do. Lotus is positioning the client as a companion rather than a replacement for the full client, just as Microsoft is with its own Outlook and Outlook Express.

Maybe not. But, the next time you hear a pick-up line in a bar it might be from C-3PO. Engineers at UC-Berkley are teaching robots to flirt, make small talk and drink wine. During the fifth annual Webby Awards being held this week, 1,000 online puppeteers will take control of Tele-Actor, a human that obeys commands like a robot. Tele-Actor won't make a move without permission, asking questions like "What should I drink?" or "Who should I kiss?" and her every move will be transmitted back to the audience as a series of still images recorded by a small camera attached to her head. Researchers are hoping that studying the results of the experiment will lead to technological advancements in robotics.
