The  Essence  of  Our  Value:  True  Collabora>on  

n  Micro-­‐blogging  apps  like  Yammer  enable  micro-­‐collabora.on:  

q  Updates  are  the  filler  that  supports  real  work  

q  Communica;on,  coordina;on  are  not  the  same  as  collabora;on  

q  The  actual  collabora;ve  experience  happens  elsewhere  

n  Convofy  enables  True  Collabora>on:  

q  Real-­‐;me  communica;on  (chat)  and  updates  

q  On-­‐the-­‐page  markup,  annota;on  and  no;fica;on
