Product Description
Bubbler delivers “No Click” instant publishing, built on the world’s fastest blogging engine. It’s a rich native client application that manages structured information, photos, and files like a content management tool, but with the publishing simplicity of a blog or wiki. The group-based architecture makes narrowcasting easy and secure, and enables the creation of networked blogs by multiple authorized contributors. Bubbler’s rich collaboration features extend blogging, empowering both individual and group publishing.
Market Opportunity
Pew Internet found that only 5% of adult Americans online have a blog; yet almost half have posted pictures, shared files, or otherwise contributed to online content. Because blogs are faster and easier than other Web publishing options, this demand for content publishing will inevitably move to a blog format.
DEMO Says
"Last summer, Five Across transformed instant messaging from a one-to-one chat system to an effective and lightweight environment for spontaneous workgroup interaction This first effort was a sort of virtual water cooler around which colleagues could gather to discuss and record their conversations. Now, Five Across fills out the workspace, moves in a file cabinet, put up a bulletin board, installed a photo copier. Amazingly, these new features don’t bog down the application, but rather make this a productive environment in which to work effectively."
