Socialtext Is Positioned To Do Well In Tough Economic Times

Here is a nice interview with my boss, Ross Mayfield.  Recession Upside for Enterprise 2.0 Upstarts: Microsoft and IBM a Tough Sell Now

Obviously you know I want to see Lotus do well, but it is great to see that we're (Socialtext) providing a great option for companies during this tough time.

We've had so many customers come to us since our v3.0 launch excited about getting Wikis, Blogs, Profiles, and Dashboards all integrated together (with spreadsheets and micro-blogging coming soon), hosted and with none of the overhead (hardware, install, admin, management, etc) of a J2EE or .Net implementation, and a fraction of the cost.  There is no right or wrong here, just different needs, and different solutions for different customers.
