Major Improvement to NotesAppStore: Google Microformats
Wed, Aug 25th 2010 2:43p Frank Paolino One of the goals of the NotesAppStore
is to assist with Google search. Google WANTS to be able to know more about
each site. One of the ways is to read "microformats" from the
site. This is formatted XML data to tell Google which sites have reviews,
which are very important to buyers of products. And because Google lives
off advertising, product reviews are critical to its business model. This
is why I added the microformats to the NotesAppStore, because Google
likes good data.

If so, let's agree to be friends and shake

What is the NotesAppStore - Part 1: Remember the "Lotus Notes Guide" ?
Tue, Jun 29th 2010 3:17p Frank Paolino Eric Mack reminded me of the "Lotus
Notes Guide" (and sent me this scan).
MayFlower was listed in a number of these
guides, and many people used them as a reference for "all things Lotus".
The guide was handy, complete and helped you contact vendors of products
and services.
Since the internet has replaced this "paper"
guide, the vendors of products and services have not had a home, a place
for them all to be seen by potential buyers.
But the need for a home is still very mu [read] Keywords: domino

Dunkin Donuts Coffee for the Troops
Mon, Jun 28th 2010 10:47a Frank Paolino A really great neighbor Beth Petr in Acton communicates
with the troops in Afghanistan and finds out what they need to make morals
a tiny bit better.
Late last year, around Christmas time, the request was
for coffee. Not any coffee. Dunkin Donuts coffee.
So, I went to the local store and bought 200 pounds of
coffee in 1 pound bags. I figured each pound would make 30 or more
cups and make a lot of soldiers have a small "taste" of home.

Resellers have a place in the ecosystem
Fri, Jun 18th 2010 12:17p Frank Paolino I have added a reseller section by country
and products represented to enable end users to find local resources who
can sell, install and train users on the products in the NotesAppStore.
Resellers can use the Partner Login,
enter their information, and list the products that they resell.
This is part of the Lotus Notes and
Domino ecosystem that is often overlooked, but critical to the customers
who rely on the skill and expertise of these local consultancies.

I can't tell if this is bad coding or a new Spam technique
Tue, Jun 15th 2010 5:47p Frank Paolino SpamSentinel caught this message. It has only one payload,
a URL. Otherwise, it is designed (I think) to bypass bayesian filtering,
as none of the words mean anything.
Or it could just be bad coding on the part of the spammers.
I have seen bad coding many times.... I guess spammers don't pay
a lot to their IT staff, either!

Managing your App listing using LinkedIn
Thu, Jun 10th 2010 1:48p Frank Paolino We have enabled editing of products on NotesAppStore
so you vendors can self-manage their Apps.
The process is simple. Click on the link,
login used LinkedIn, and register. We use an email verification
to match to products listed on the NotesAppStore to your email domain.
This will get me out of the content editing
business, and spend more time helping to build the site and get more features
(stay tuned for more new feature announcements!)

NotesAppStore now uses LinkedIn for Login
Tue, Jun 1st 2010 10:20a Frank Paolino When building the NotesAppStore
review area, I wanted a simple way to identify reviewers who post reviews
to the site. I decided to use the social networks that we all use and love:
LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. I already had Facebook and Twitter working,
and we got LinkedIn working over the weekend. So now NotesAppStore reviewers
have 3 ways to identify themselves in a way that is already recognized

Notes App Reviews!
Fri, May 21st 2010 9:17a Frank Paolino One of the things I do when I buy anything
is to search for reviews of the product or service before I buy. I weigh
those reviews into the overall purchase decision process. In the Lotus
Notes world, product reviews are nearly impossible to find, so I decided
to make it a lot easier, adding a button to "create a review"
of any product on the NotesAppStore.com
website.
These reviews will follow guidelines,
based on a "verified identity". We are starting with Facebook

stealing our SpamSentinel software for about a year now. Frankly, we are
flattered. He could have stolen anyone's software, but he chose ours! We
feel honored, to say the least!
I guess we are happy that he likes our software.
What if he said "It is not even worth nothing?". But that can't
be true. Our software has a value to him, as he had to spend time to steal
it, and time equals money.

The Worldwide End of Spam Occurred Today
Thu, Apr 1st 2010 1:17p Frank Paolino In an unexpected turn of events, none
of our customers are reporting receiving any spam today.
We checked with hundreds of them worldwide,
and the reports were identical: "No Spam".
When researching it, we found the most
probable cause of this to be a combination of the Can-Spam
act of 2003 and Microsoft's
efforts to end spam by 2006.

the law and have stopped spamming", one government official was quoted
