Social Networking is emerging as the driving force behind collaboration, for both business and individuals.

Keeping track of all your 'virtual' contacts on the various networks will be counter-productive, especially as the quantity of social networks you are registered to increased, and your global network increases as well. Locating a user you wish to collaborate with, can become tedious and subtract from the effectiveness of the networks and the effectiveness for you to be able to locate a specific user.

ViCo for Lotus Notes can help with this by importing all of your contacts from all supported social networks and providing them in a single point of access, a Lotus Notes database, allowing sorting and searching and categorising of the documents by network.

ViCo for Lotus Notes also allows you to add specific contacts onto your Personal Address Book in Lotus Notes, making those contacts available in type-ahead searches from within the Lotus Notes mail file. The application also allows automatic synchronisation of changes of contact information direct to the Personal Address Book.

New tighter integration with PLAXO has been provided, allowing contacts from other social networks to be uploaded to and deleted from PLAXO. Providing the ability to store these contacts on PLAXO, makes them available whenever internet access is available.
