Social Mail is here! #socbiz #ibmsocialbiz

Woo Hoo!

I am tingling as I use our new Notes 9 Social edition!  Not because it is a next release of Notes, but because it is an amazing Social tool!  It is Social Mail -- here today!

Some people think e-mail has always been social, and others say email and social are like oil and water.

I think it's a mix!   And that's why I love it!  My husband says I like my cake and eat it too!  So with Social Mail I can do both -- have mail and social!

Social mail is the seamless integration of everything -- all your collaboration tools -- where and when you want them. Often, that's alongside your inbox.

And I mean everything.  All the new & cool social stuff like Profiles, communities, file sharing, real time audio and video communications, presence and more, all right there.  And I mean your desktop applications; your public social networks; your Tweets; and your other business applications.  All together. No switching, stopping, or waiting.

But social mail is is also about the integration of messaging into those other applications-- shouldn't my desire to communicate be freed from the boundaries of a traditional email client application?  Social mail is about having access any time & anywhere -- on my PC, my phone, my tablet, on my desktop, and even in the cloud.

Social mail lets me focus on my idea or the business problem I need to solve.  Ultimately, a social mail experience is about empowering people to collaborate seamlessly and in context, so you forget about managing email and just get work done.
