As the first wiki company, Socialtext wikis are designed for any organization that wants to accelerate team communications, better enable knowledge sharing, foster collaboration, and build online communities. Today, over 3,000 organizations use Socialtext, including Symantec, Nokia, IKEA, Conde Nast, Ziff-Davis, Kodak, University of Southern California, Boston College, among others.
Socialtext offers the most flexible deployment options in the industry - including dedicated appliances, hosted services, software and open-source solutions.

Socialtext focuses on making web collaboration secure, scalable and easy to use. A Socialtext wiki is a secure, group-editable website. Instead of sending emails and attachments, Socialtext customers use private web pages to work together. To help stimulate adoption, Socialtext offers WikiWidgets, which make it easy for non-technical, business users to create rich, dynamic wiki content. Plus Socialtext provides added flexibility for users to access wiki content from anywhere, anytime - from mobile devices or even when off-line and disconnected from the network - with Socialtext Miki, the mobile wiki and Socialtext Unplugged, the off-line wiki.

Based in Palo Alto, Calif., Socialtext is a privately-held company with world-class investors including Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Omidyar Network and SAP. For more information about Socialtext, please visit www.socialtext.com or call 1-877-GET-WIKI.

Dashboard

In addition to web-based access, the Socialtext wiki dashboard can also be accessed from a mobile device, like a Blackberry or Windows Mobile device. Watch this screencast to learn more about mobile wiki access with Socialtext Miki - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZC7v7WTvd4.

What's New

Socialtext users can always access their valuable wiki content (like 'What's New') from any device including a web browser, mobile device or even when they go off-line. Socialtext Unplugged allows users to synch wiki content, go off-line and make changes, and then re-synch changes back to the wiki when they have Internet access. This screencast provides details on how Socialtext Unplugged works - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrpachN5DNk.
