colaab has been developed to capitalize on the huge growth in demand for web based collaboration software among the business community over coming years. It has been designed to allow organizations and people to connect, communicate and collaborate in real-time over a wide range of content and information including documents, videos and images.

Through a rich and simple user interface colaab offers collaboration both in real-time with several users online together, and in your own time when working alone. The front-end user interface has been built entirely using Microsoft's Silverlight technology, which affords an extremely rich experience delivered within the browser.

The application consists of workspaces within which resources are stored and shared. When a user creates a workspace they can invite other users to collaborate with them via their email addresses. Three different levels of workspace access control the options available to a user. Organizers can control the workspace and can invite other users to join, participants can collaborate within the workspace and viewers can consume the content within the workspace but not interact.

An instant messaging client and presence system supports real time discussion within the workspace. A user can annotate and comment directly on a specific area of a resource, whether it be an image, document or video, with all changes updating to other users in real time. A full audit trail ensures you can keep track of all changes and comments made. With email, SMS messaging and even a conference calling feature built in to workspaces colaab offers a fully featured collaboration environment.

colaab is being offered on a freemium model, with free accounts available with some limitations and then tiered subscription pricing for packages with more storage, workspaces and users with 30 day free trials available of all paid subscriptions.

Twibbon was conceived to create unity through common cause on Twitter, and to exploit an underused asset in social networking culture – the profile image. Twibbon works by overlaying an image on supporters’ profile pictures to show their allegiance to a particular cause.

Twibbons have been created for charitable organisations, lifestyle movements, support for musical figures, sporting heroes, product worship, brand alliegances and everything in between. And making your own couldn’t be easier.
