YooPlus is a Le Web 3 finalist tackling the business applications of Web 2.0. Specifically, Enterprise 2.0 team collaboration and project management. Visiting their site I am reminded of LongJump, a company covered here on Profy a short while ago, though YooPlus seems less comprehensive.
YooPlus offers different levels of service, both free and paid. One nice feature of these service levels is the ability to turn them on and off without penalty. This is nice for a busy [...]

There is a new online application suite being released that offers a complete solution for the small to medium business. It's called LongJump, and it is being brought to you by the folks behind Relationals. LongJump contacted Profy and set up an interview with LongJump CEO and founder Pankaj Malviya.

Microsoft has stated that [...]

Google Apps, an online suite, has for months been positioned as an inexpensive collection of simple and useful utilities for (mostly) small business and educational institutions. Today it’s hoping to start expanding its client base in a big way.
The Mountain View-based company behind the series of products has announced CapGemini as major partner in the delivery its solutions to businesses big (some very big) and small. The announcement effectively thrusts the calendar-email-word-processor-spreadsheet-etc. concoction straight into a world in which business-to-business [...]

So, you like Google Gears, do you? You like firing up that browser, logging into a service/Web app (the current list of GG-compatible sites is short, but generally is a good group nonetheless), syncing up with the latest info – be it in the form of RSS feeds or to-do lists or whathaveyou - and enjoy the luxury of a small little button conveniently placed atop your browser window that, when pressed, allows you to continue reading and making edits [...]

"Why don't you just change it, uncle, if you feel so strongly about it?" I said with a hint of irritation. He is my uncle, all of these years and having been brought up entirely in the Silicon Valley habitat I am designed to be impatient trying to help uncle the complexities of something new in the cyber world.
