Products & Applications
Time Tracker
The idea is simple. At the start of your day - upon completion of your first task - create an entry highlighting what you did and whether you feel it was an efficient or inefficient use of your time. Based on several requests, you can also select the priority, apply categories, or even align your time against a project.
For Lotus Notes Client v8.0 and above, you can use the Time Tracker Widget to make this process even easier!
Zephyr
My Configuration-based Rich Text Mail Merge and Emailing Utility, Zephyr allows you to create rich, data-driven emails to support automated workflow - all via Microsoft Word Mail Merge-like architecture. Dear <firstname> allows you to personalize each email message not only to the individual recipient, but also to the individual application workflow event!
xCopy
xCopy is a simple configurable xCopy client for the Lotus Notes client. By creating and defining xCopy Profiles, you can batch process your file backup or remote upload jobs. With the addition of the xCopy sidebar widget, you can easily kick-off these jobs, and modify both the xCopy Profiles and xCopy itself.

Video: XLibrary - Social Enabled IBM Lotus Domino XPages Document Library
01/18/2012 09:54:00 AM by Chris Toohey
For those of you who couldn't make it to Lotusphere 2012 and missed the GBS Sponsor session from Scott Hooks (with some awesome co-presenting live demo work from Brad Balassaitis), here's the 18-minute fail safe demo video I made in case the Lotusphere Wireless connectivity was an issue.
See, Scott -- who is extremely smart when it comes to stuff like this -- always has a backup plan, and in this case if he couldn't show a live demo of XLibrary (an IBM XPages-based Document Library mashup with Twitter, LinkedIn, Connections, and the Google Search API), he at least wanted to be able to show it off via a demo video.
Some of the integration here was relatively plug-and-play, either using the simplified JavaScript APIs or via pre-built widgets offered by the solution (eg., the Twitter Search uses a keyword-fed version of the Twitter Search widget)... but some (like the LinkedIn integration) was a little tricky.
I'll follow-up this post with a detailed article explaining more of the How, and for those of you interested in the Why, I'll try to get some of strategic info from Scott... but I'd imagine most long-time readers of this site will get the Why easily enough:
Integrating your current Lotus Notes client applications with the available cloud services and social networks by evolving those applications into XPages-based mashups will give you the ability to extend your own knowledge while re-purposing your current data and application functionality. In short, you get a lot more out of what you have by way of function, portability (I can haz this app on my iPhone?), and real-time analytics of your data fed from the various global online communities.
It's a no-brainer really. And companies that frown upon using Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, et al are going to eventually adopt it en masse (like they did with instant messaging) once they realize the goldmine of competitive information that can be found by something as simple as a keyword card.
Expect a more in depth article post-Lotusphere 2012, complete with setup instructions (eg., LinkedIn API requires registration and an API key) and an XLibrary download.

This is absolutely amazing. I remember someone running the idea past me last year, but seeing it in action is really something else.
Looking at the demo video it gives a good idea on how to make your app social and a living too. Hungry for more.
