Pam Poole did a nice review of Colaab with mention of other web-based document collaboration services.
At the end of the review she couldn’t help but take a swipe at Review Basics. Poole notes that Review Basics goes so far as to let the user post a feedback on its demo using the built-in collaboration tools, so she did,
In the ensuing comment thread Poole writes,
I hesitated to include that. I’m not militant or a prude. But there’s a time and a place! It’s all about context. I’m really curious to know if an equally suggestive picture of a guy would have bothered any guys.
Context is everything and I think, in this case, it would. Come on, this is a document collaboration service — images like this simply tell me you’ve got some very immature folks handling things. Do they really think I’m going to recommend that my co-workers go check out your service after seeing something like this in their demo? I shouldn’t have to send my boss a “possibly NSFW” notation if I want him to check out your demo!
Given that the document collaboration space is pretty crowded, I’ll just click over to one of your competitors rather than deal with this sort of nonsense.
