A few weeks back, we asked you to guess what we’d be announcing at Enterprise 2.0.
You need wonder no longer.
On Monday, PBworks announced its real-time collaboration update. Starting on November 17, Project and Legal Edition customers will have a whole new way to use PBworks to work together.
- IM Collaboration
- Live Notifications
- Live Editing
- Voice Collaboration (early 2010)
IM Collaboration will allow users to see who else in their organization is actively using PBworks at that moment, and send them instant messages from within the product. In addition, users will also be able to summon others to the workspace page they’re working on using the “send a link” function built into the IM system.
Live Notifications will alert users to activity within their organization in real-time, rather than requiring them to await an asynchronous email notification. Users can select which notifications they want to receive, based on “starring” or “following” particular pages and other users, and the system will stream the relevant notifications to whatever page a user is viewing.
Live Editing will eliminate the need to use web conferencing services such as WebEx, PlaceWare, and GoToMeeting to share a PBworks editing session. Whenever a user is editing a workspace page, the other users viewing that page see the edits appear in real-time. When combined with IM Collaboration, Live Editing makes it easy to convene an ad hoc meeting for working synchronously.
Voice Collaboration is the fastest and easiest way to set up a conference call with other members of your organization. Rather than setting up a conference line in advance and asking attendees to dial in, PBworks Voice Collaboration allows you to initiate an instant conference call by dialing the desired participants. You can add new participants at any time, and each conference call is recorded and stored for later review. Voice Collaboration can even be triggered using your iPhone, making it the first conference calling application that works on that platform.
If a user is editing a page and realizes that he or she needs the input of other team members, he or she can summon them to the appropriate page using IM Collaboration, start a Live Editing session, and use Voice Collaboration to initiate an instant conference call, all in fraction of the time it would take to set up a web conference, set up a conference call line, and communicate the details to the intended participants.
We’re pretty excited, but don’t just take our word for it; you can read about what other people have to say:
