Huddle allows the employees of small to medium sized companies to share documents and conduct work projects and collaboration in a multi-user, central online environment.

Huddle was designed with telecommuting and multi-location workforce in mind. It uses the power of the internet to allow colleagues and working groups (even from different companies) in different places and time zones to work together on a single project.

SHARE

Huddle allows you to create an online project, where you can invite associates to join and share documents, ideas, diagrams and information online. The project manager can then assign tasks to individual users and newer versions of documents can be uploaded as the project moves along towards completion.

MANAGE

All previous versions of a given document are automatically archived, allowing changes to be easily tracked. Users can also subscribe to an RSS feed. RSS allows them to easily be alerted of any important project notifications or changes in uploaded documents and the project as a whole.

Huddle's advantages include it's simplicity and accessibility as compared to other packages. Google Apps is a major competitor to Huddle and it is aimed almost exclusively at the business market. Huddle's ease of use and simplicity makes it easy for very small companies and parents, clubs, non-profits, college or high school students to quickly get started with an online project.

DISCUSS

Huddle free version features advertisements that are unobtrusive and the layout is uncluttered. Premium packages allow you to customize the online working environment with your own groups look and feel or company's logo and color scheme.

MEET

Huddle.net offers a free service supported by advertising. Multi- priced levels of paid subscription services are also offered, offering ever increasing amounts of storage space and number of projects. The premium services are free of advertisements.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
