Socialtext Desktop shows you the Signals (140-character social messages) posted by your colleagues. You can choose to see the microblogging stream for colleagues you follow, or for everyone in your company who uses Socialtext. You also use Socialtext Desktop to post your own Signals. Signals give you a great way to quickly share with a broad group.
Socialtext Desktop also shows you the activity streams for the people you follow and the pages you’ve edited. The configurable pop-up notification that comes with Socialtext Desktop alerts you to new Signals and keeps you apprised of what people are working on.
You can monitor the same activity streams (page edits, blog posts, comments, profile changes, Signals) and also post Signals from Socialtext Dashboard. Socialtext Desktop simply gives you an additional dynamic way to stay informed and in touch.
Socialtext Desktop is free for Socialtext users. It requires that you are running Socialtext release 3.3 or greater, with Socialtext People enabled. If you don’t already have Socialtext up and running, you can sign up for a free 30-day free trial.
To download Socialtext Desktop, just enter your email in the box to the right.
