ShareFlow – The New Way to Communicate

ShareFlow is an application that makes it easier to communicate with the people who matter to you most. Rather than sending dozens of emails back and forth with dozens of coworkers and friends, ShareFlow provides a new way to communicate and collaborate in real-time on all types of projects.

Start using ShareFlow by creating a “flow,” the term of a new project or collaboration center. Post comments, add documents, link to videos, and then invite everyone you’d like to be involved. Each user who’s been granted access can comment, add as much content as they wish, and download any documents that you uploaded previously. Because ShareFlow works in real time, you can communicate within your flow instantly—much in the same way as you would with an instant messenger service.

Rather than overloading users with excessive updates when they’re busy with something else, ShareFlow lets users get the information they need on their own schedule—allowing them to see messages they missed and forward any emails they’ve been meaning to share with the group at any time. For anyone looking for a seamless method of group collaboration, ShareFlow is an innovative system that is definitely worth checking out.

Practical Uses:

  • Collaborate on a group presentation
  • Plan a group trip
  • Share photos and videos with friends
  • Keep all important work documents in a place that’s accessible from any computer

Insider Tips:

  • Receive e-mail digests with a rundown of the daily activity within your “flow”
  • Create as many flows as you’d like
  • Search for the specific content you’re looking for across multiple “flows”
  • Delete your own comments or posts at any time

What we liked:

  • ShareFlow keeps all of your documents organized
  • Threaded comments make it easy to stay up-to-date on the latest issues
  • Forward emails directly to ShareFlow and include them in a project
  • Users can comment directly one any embedded email within a flow

What we didn’t like:

  • We liked everything – even if it resembles much of the functionality of Google Wave
