Enter Colaab
After some Twitter conversation yesterday about Woobius (see post), I was recommended to have a look at another low-cost web-based file-sharing service, Colaab.

It uses an enhancement of Microsoft’s Silverlight technology, Deepzoom (good primer here), to allow large image …

I have recently had two further meetings (one online and one face-to-face) regarding Kalexo’s TeamWork application (see BIM: All change, please). Steve Bogart, Kalexo’s VP of Business Development, used a Glance session to guide me through the functionality of the current version of TeamWork.

Asite asides
Asite is not the only business proposing to de-list from London’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM – see post and follow-up). According to The Guardian, research by law firm Trowers & Hamlyn shows that de-listings are up a record 33% in the year to March 2009, as the credit crunch forces many to the wall. Financial …
