Socialcast Launches First Enterprise Micro-Blogging and Knowledge Management Tool Built on Self Service Model

-- Empowers Small to Medium-Sized Businesses with Innovative,
Scalable Enterprise Messaging Platform for Collaboration and
Communication --
IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Socialcast, a leading provider of on-demand corporate social
networks, today announced the official launch of Socialcast 3.0. This
new micro-blogging-based version is the first corporate social network
to feature a self-service model. As a result, small to medium-sized
businesses can now sign up, customize and use Socialcast's enterprise
messaging platform immediately, to swiftly harness the collective
knowledge of team members and foster internal collaboration.

Socialcast's self-service model represents a new method of
deployment for secure, private enterprise social networking sites,
bypassing the traditional sales model that often requires weeks or
months of set-up and approvals. This empowers small businesses to
easily complement or replace a traditional intranet and utilize a
full-featured network for their workgroup, department or entire
organization. The service equips enterprises with the same resource it
offers Fortune 500 companies, without the need for a knowledge manager
or chief information officer. Customer service and support is also
included and the software is fully scalable, allowing companies to
easily add new users.

"Socialcast operates as a 'Twitter for the enterprise,' enabling
SMBs to capture the tacit knowledge of workers and leverage mindshare
to bridge the gap between generations of co-workers," said Tim Young,
CEO of Socialcast. "The integration of the self-service model into our
platform provides our SMB customers with sophisticated social
networking tools. Our knowledge-sharing and collaboration portal is
easily deployable, uniting the minds of a company's entire workforce,
while deeply engaging employees in their daily work."

Workers can also leverage their organization's social network via
email or smartphone while away from the office. Whether at their desks
or on-the-go, employees can send in questions, ideas and status
updates, enabling uninterrupted collaboration and idea sharing. The
software's latest version includes a simplified user interface,
improving the overall flow of communication through an enhanced
activity stream that features customized settings based on user
preference.

Other key features included in Socialcast 3.0 are in-line
commenting and social searching, enabling users to comment on items
directly within activity streams. This makes conversations easily
accessible and connects users searching for similar content within the
community.

New customers will receive a no-risk, 30-day free, full-featured
trial of Socialcast 3.0, as there are no long-term contracts and no
sign-up fees. Following this initial period to test the software,
customers may elect to register for $5 per-user, per-month. To learn
