BP9_20100603_Web 2.0T3-Nuospace
Nuospace is a web 2.0-wiki tool for any type of business. Although my last tool had a wiki element in its contents, I would like to try several to see which is the user-friendliest and can be incorporated to fit the needs of my AR project and work department. Neospace comes in two forms: a hosted service available of the web and as standalone software to download. Aside from sharing knowledge via wiki, users can also share documents, manage documents, and have discussions and blog. What I found that I like is how easy it is to add content, how a history of previous versions is available, how email notifications are sent when updates are made, and most importantly how pages can be printed in PDF format. What I was not happy with is the fact that content can only be in the form of text. The document management tool was very useful. Revisions to documents can be approved or rejected, files can be locked from users, and comments can be visible on the document so that you can see if pending changes are taking place. Overall this web 2.0 tool seems very easy to use and has just about all components that I am looking for to complete my AR project. The cost is free for the basic edition, 5 users or less with 1Gb of space. The cost then goes up from there all the way to $599 if you are a very large corporation.
