Bluehouse is IBM's answer to SaaS in the collaboration area. I hope there will be a product demo in the workshop today; I'm looking forward to see the "integrated collaboration workspace", CRM & BI included!

On this note, the cleaning lady has arrived so I'll let her clean my room of all the sand, and by the way Brian did manage to get a room BOTH higher up AND with an ocean view, plus he didn't bring his camera, so I will be protesting. Not quite sure how yet.

More on Bluehouse this evening!
