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.
