  • I've been looking for this remix for like....ten years. Why, why, why can't I find this?!

  • This advertisement maintained an emotional reaction for me that has lasted for years. I'm not a particular fan of Lotus, or IBM, but I remembered this commercial long after it no longer aired. The very peculiar reworking of this classic tune and the different cultures with an individual saying "I am" within the masses... it's a strong message, if ironic coming from a corporation.

    One of the goals of advertising is to make you remember the product. In this way, the advert did its job for me.

  • @EpicureMammon Well, this was a commercial for a product after all.

  • Does anyone, ANYONE, know who sang this version of "Superman"?

  • I wish there were a version of this commercial with the super-imposed text removed. I really like the image of these people, relatively faceless in crowds, proclaiming their existence. But when it's converted into a statement by/about lotus notes... it kind of ruins it. Oh well. :)

  • @TheFanfictionAddict What was nutty about what I said? I related some truth from the Bible. But in regards to your question, no, neither nut or troll, however filled with the Holy Spirit. May God bless you and yours.

  • @treyflanagan I love how the youtube comments section really brings out the nuts and the trolls. I'm not entirely sure which you are sir but, for the sake of my ability will to live in this world, you best be trollin'

  • @mikehillwig I don't fully understand that. Why did it fail?

  • @poolboyinla Most people think of Lotus Notes as an e-mail package, which it is. But it's a collaboration and semi-structured database platform.

    R5 was the first version, released sometime in 1999, after Lotus had been bought by IBM. And this was the first version to be built on internet protocols. It really was revolutionary at the time.

  • @mikehillwig what did it do? i have never even heard of it.
