What is Digg?28 Comments
- Sartori, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19At the risk of being picky, would it have been too much to ask that the original submitter mentioned what Zimbra actually was?
For those who, like me, aren't entirely up to snuff with their Web 2.0 names: Zimbra is a web-based "collaboration suite", which seems to be what they're calling Outlook-style applications with email and calendars these days. - jlebrech, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20You mean Launch?
- bertram, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I guess Zimbra chose not to announce it on their own site and instead on TechCrunch? That must be it since this links to TC and not zimbra.com.
Oh, wait, no...there it is, right on the front page: http://www.zimbra.com/
weird. Now, why wouldn't this story link to the source...hmmm... - thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -8/+17Nah, he meant Lauch... you know that thing that you....
err...
That time that you....
err...
Fscking spelling Nazi. **walks away mubling to himself** - Yorn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I wonder why people never seem to misspell the names of the Web 2.0 companies but commonly mispell other words, especially in titles. Imagine if he'd said Zibra instead of Zimbra.
- SpaceBass, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I'm a zimbra user and a huge fan, but I'm not sure I understand the need for a desktop suite.
Thunderbird works well for an email client with Zimbra and supports IDLE, Sunbird works nicely as a calendar (or use Lightening with thunderbird)... On OS X you can use sync services to keep your address book and ical in sync with Zimbra. On windows there is a plugin for Outlook...
Nevertheless, I'm anxious to see what they come up with. - KentiVarna, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Yes we used Derby/Jetty/Lucene as the backing store. This let's us reuse 100% of the client code for the AJAX interface. More on our arch will appear on the blog: http://www.zimbra.com/blog/

- unloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I may be reaching here, but my guess is they'll store it on the hard drive. More specifically, the browser cache
- wannabetenor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1See: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthread.php?p=41410
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2How come everyone is 'The leader in..."
Geesh. Can't they think of a better tag line for a good product like this? - moniker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1From an article I read, but can't seem to find anymore, one of their developers said they were going to use Apache Derby for local storage.
- mattvogt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It will be interesting to see how this fairs in the corporate environment. I love their product and it's the future web-mail solution of our company, and now perhaps the desktop client, too.
- m0shen, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Since no one has mentioned it yet, Digg.com is a Zimbra customer.
*cue the accusations of manipulation in 3... 2... 1...* - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"It will be interesting to see how this fairs in the corporate environment."
Actually, the non-profit think tank I work for has been openly considering dumping MS Office and our Exchange server and adopting Google's online suite. It would easily bring down our TCO and cut down on upgrade and maintenance costs. The only worry is about the future of Google's suite. That's the only thing really holding us back from making the switch. - olegk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I wonder where they will store all the data offline. Modern browsers don't have that many options for storing users' data on the client side. Cookies are way too small to store emails.
- Topher06, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Wow, you mention "Zimbra" enough times in an article, its almost sounds like a real product.
- mobilitatis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Also: is a web application stored local, that sucks more, and when you see the code is full width Tables, TABLES!!!!, Suck a lot.
- secretivecoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0So just another port I have to leave open on my computer? No thanks...
"Zimbra, the leader in whatever it is that we do." - carniv0re, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Hmm, two similar zimbra posts. http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Zimbra_Desktop_Launched_Growing_Trend_of_Offline_Access_to_Web_Apps
- eriksr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Okay..."Zimbra will announce" -- why the hell should I care? If the software hasn't been released yet and I can't get my hands on it, why the hell should I care what some 2.0 is planning to do? Vapor alert!
- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1And?
- mobilitatis, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Zimbra Desktop Sucks, I have installed and never run!, also do not Unistall! and install some service that get much memory.
And is made in Java (Java Sucks too!) - 2Deluxe, on 10/12/2007, -11/+6If you could figure it out, chances are the majority of Digg morons can too. Quit bitching.
