    Socialtext 4.0.1 Improvements All Around

    You’ll be happy to know Socialtext 4.0.1 contains several updates that will immediately improve the way you work.

    The video below provides an overview of some of the enhancements, including:

    • Sending longer microblogging messages in Socialtext Signals
    • Installing the Desktop application for rich-client access to Socialtext
    • Filtering a Group’s activity stream so you can focus on specific types of events
    • Improving the look of certain wiki page elements

    Communicate Openly With Your Colleagues

    Trying to collaborate with co-workers via e-mail can be frustrating. That is why many people are using our microblogging application, Socialtext Signals, when they need to get answers, share links, and give quick status updates. Based on your feedback, we’ve now increased the Signal length to 400 characters, so you can send longer messages.

    Experience Socialtext Desktop

    The Socialtext Desktop application is a great way to access Socialtext Signals, the activity stream, profiles, even all your Socialtext workspaces pages. We want to make sure you get a chance to experience Desktop yourself, so we’ve placed a new link at the top right of Socialtext where you can click to install it.

    Easily Keep Up With Group Activity

    Socialtext Groups make it easy for you to work with your colleagues on projects or areas of interest. Each Group has its own home page, with an activity stream that displays what the group is up to. New in 4.0.1, you can now filter the stream to display just specific types of events, such as signals, page edits, comments, etc.

    I basically use social media because it’s simple. I recommend or use it primarily because I think this certain kind of challenge and creative chance to be enjoyable. It always was even way back when in the 90s, prior to it being called it “social media”. And now it’s much simpler to be effective when you’re having fun doing what you do.

    Are they updates free or an extra fee?

    Socialtext is sold as Software as a Service (SaaS) meaning you pay per user, per month to use it. You are not buying any one specific release.
