Blogtronix
released today Sharetronix 1.5, an advanced version
of its superior enterprise-based open source microblogging software.
Sharetronix powers over 10,000 communities in 125 countries. The price for a commercial perpetual license is
$499 for unlimited users.
Sharetronix
has improved and optimized its core microblogging offerings of social networking;
activity feeds; real-time dashboard; multimedia support (text, links, pictures,
videos, and other file types such as Zip, PDF etc.); tagging; RSS aggregation;
advanced search (for content, user profiles, and groups); and system
administration.
The new
Sharetronix capabilities include APIs for
developers with Twitter compatibility; LDAP integration; private groups; public
groups; message resharing; real-time integration with PubSubHubBub protocol; SSO
with Facebook and Twitter; content sharing with FB, Twitter, Buzz, and
Delicious; Twitter feed aggregation; member invitations from gmail, Yahoo!,
Facebook, Twitter accounts; theme engine; and mobile UI optimized for
smartphones.
In
addition, Sharetronix 1.5 can be deployed on Microsoft Windows servers with PHP
support; offers support for TweetDeck; has automatic administrative
notifications for updates and upgrades; and has a translation center that has
enabled the community to fully convert the software in 24 languages to date.
Sharetronix
1.5 is available for download under two licenses:
a paid and a free version. A Commercial
License is intended for business use and the perpetual purchase includes
updates and upgrades for one year; after the first year, customers can purchase
an annual support agreement in order to receive software updates. A Personal License
is allowed for personal (non-business related) use only and it offers community
web support.
In the
microblogging enterprise space, Sharetronix competes with Yammer, Chatter,
Socialtext, and Present.ly although they do not offer the benefits of open
source. Further, unlike Yammer and
Chatter, which only offers hosted SaaS, Sharetronix allows its customers to
download the software behind a firewall and unlike Socialtext, it supports
multimedia. StatusNet
is another strong competitor in the enterprise open source microblogging market;
however, StatusNet does not offer multimedia support like Sharetronix.
Founded in 2005 and based in Berkeley, CA, Blogtronix was one of
the first social media companies to offer an enterprise-based social software
suite.
