IBM looks like it has momentum with Lotus Live , which now has 18 million users. For instance, as we mentioned yesterday, xPages, HTML5 and RESTful Web services will all be tools that push forward efforts such as Project Vulcan , the next generation of Lotus Notes unveiled here at Lotusphere this week.
