On IBM’s website you can now listen to a Podcast interview with Rob Novak, president and founder of SNAPPS. They also have a transcript of the Podcast. In the interview he is announcing new templates that will be available, free of charge, for Lotus Quickr. In the interview the marketing manager for Lotus QuickPlace and Lotus Quickr, Megan Moyer asks Rob what these business focused templates are all about.

Some of the examples are: Contact management, Company announcements, Image libraries and Collaborative presentation management. All in all SNAPPS will create 11 templates.

I’m going to post some more articles about these templates in the next few weeks. Why? How? I’m one of the lead developers on this project for SNAPPS. You want to help? Send lots of coffee to SNAPPS!

As many of you may know I work for a company called SNAPPS. We do a lot of work with Lotus QuickPlace and the new upcoming Lotus Quickr. We are a IBM design partner for the two products. Rob Novak, my boss, has done several really good blog postings about what Lotus Quickr is including a really good FAQ.

In the next few weeks I’ll be posting about Lotus Quickr, the incredibly cool connectors and Dojo that will be part of the product. Come back soon.
