Magic numbers
by Volker Weber
Same old, same old. Ed is reporting that Lotusphere is "bigger than last year". Of course the real numbers are "IBM confidential". Rinse, lather, repeat.
Lotusphere Online currently lists 315 pages with 15 profiles. 315 by 15 is 4725.
Finding a person is not easy, since you can only browse through the pages and it takes 25 seconds for the next page to load. You may also guess a page number and jump there.

Can you no longer scroll down on that portal page and find a search portlet? It was there last week, anyway - not exactly intuitive, since it IS completely off the screen on my 1280x1024 screen. But it beats guessing how the alphabet converts into page numbers...
There is a people search form in Lotusphere Online, but it's well hidden.
Stop trying to find shortcuts people! This is what portal technology is all about: making sites “sticky“! They draw you in, and then they keep you there. That is deemed A Good Thing.
:-D
Mmmmmm. Sticky! And they said Portals weren't sexy...

Rats, my *smirk* above was wrapped in brackets and looked too much like html. Sorry, Volker...
No need to apologize. The site eats all tags which are not allowed.
