SUMMARY: POWER PUB: THURSDAY, MAY 27, 2004
"SEARCH-BASED EMAIL: THE INTERNET'S KILLER APP MEETS THE INTERNET'S HOTTEST TECHNOLOGY"

The Power Pub drew participants from throughout the Valley, including SAP, Hyperion, Fujitsu, NEC Corporation and Adobe Systems.

During the discussion with Dr. Raymie Stata, many concluded that the speed and ease of "filing" through searchable email software would, indeed, make our already overloaded business life much easier. Others queried as to whether new features could be added to make the business package robust enough to battle against the Googles and Microsofts of the world.

Stata Labs handed out demo versions of their software, Bloomba, and look forward to connections with other members of the World Internet Center's constituency.
