This is a very positive article, but one that concerns me. It should raise flags within IBM, if they follow their products in the news.
I attended IBM Connect last week, where I checked out one of the most interesting products you’ve likely never heard of — a new email offering called “IBM Verse.” While there was a lot of discussion about how it better integrated social networking, what really intrigued me was the idea of putting cognitive computing inside an email client.
. . . I’ll close with my product of the week, which has to be IBM Verse, the fascinating email product that focuses on the user. If I don’t tell you about it, you’ll likely never hear of it.
“If I don’t tell you about it, you’ll likely never hear of it.” – Well not technically true. If you ever fly into or out of Westchester County Airport (HPN) you will see tons of ads for Verse. Tons of them. The problem? That airport is tiny *and* it’s the airport that is closest to Armonk, NY. IBM are, in a way only IBM can do, advertising to themselves. *shakes head and mutters….*
