Lotus Notes Application developers now have a new marketplace to promote their application: www.notesappstore.com. Frank Paolino launched the service as a volunteer project after a client had trouble finding a partner’s application on IBM’s ever expanding website.

“People just wanted one place to find a Notes application that fit their needs.  We started NotesAppStore.com to provide a simple way to find solutions and their company websites without having to sort through a ton of search results pages.    They also wanted some input from the Notes community whether the application was reliable and customer support readily available so we added user reviews as well.”

Apple launched their app store for the iPhone and developers continue to add thousands of application per day.   With fewer developers for Lotus Notes market, the need for an application marketplace is even greater.

According to Mayflower Software‘s Frank Paolino there may be a new email virus emerging just in time for the holiday shopping season.

“We detected over 520,000 new virus variants in a single day! Because we are watching email patterns worldwide, we detect most new viruses outbreaks solely due to their email distribution patterns, and often before they have been given an “official” name.”
