History

WebDialogs, Inc. was founded in 1998. In August 2007, it was acquired by the Lotus division of the IBM Corporation, and its product line was renamed IBM Lotus Sametime Unyte.

As of November 2009, the Lotus Sametime Unyte Share service is in the process of being discontinued as part of an IBM business decision. All of the Lotus Sametime Unyte services are in the process of being re-branded under the IBM Lotus brand called LotusLive. Current Unyte Share account subscriptions will be honored until that subscription expires. However no new Unyte Share accounts or upgrades to current accounts are being accepted.
