CNet: The new Convofy is like a Facebook wall for business, with a few cool work-focused features thrown in. It’s easy enough to get started and to build up a work network on Convofy, but it also has enough command-and-control functionality to keep the corporate admins happy once they get wind of it.
The core of Convofy, an Air client to a cloud-based service, is a conversation screen much like other social workflow apps. Users post ideas, links, and files, and their followers can comment on them. Updates appear on followers’ screens in real time. There are mobile apps for iPhone, Android, and modern BlackBerry smartphones.
It’s more dynamic than e-mail, more structured than instant messaging, and better than both for certain communications. Convofy has a strong focus on image and video annotation. It’s easy to drag files to the app and then mark them up on the built-in viewer, with little arrows that point from your markups to text you add in a comment window. You can even mark up videos, and the annotations get attached to them at particular time markers. For teams needing to do quick reviews of documents or graphics files, this could be a very useful tool.
