WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Presently, the enterprise microblogging
platform developed by Intridea, Inc., announced today the general availability
of the Presently SharePoint Web Part, a free and open-source component for
Microsoft's SharePoint Enterprise Collaboration Platform.

The Presently SharePoint Web Part allows businesses to view and post updates
to their company's microblogging network directly from within the SharePoint
portal. When combined with Presently's proven behind-the-firewall enterprise
installation options, companies can now securely and easily integrate
microblogging into existing business processes.

"What we've found are companies that love the idea of internal microblogging
but aren't looking for a disruption in their existing processes," said Yoshi
Maisami, co-founder of Intridea. "The SharePoint Web Part lets them continue
to use familiar tools but in a new, more collaborative way."

With its release, SharePoint joins the larger array of platforms that can
connect directly to Presently including Blackberry, Windows Mobile, iPhone and
Android. "Our goal is to make it as simple as possible for any business
anywhere to bring the powerful information-sharing of microblogging to its
employees," said Maisami. "A large part of that strategy is to release free,
open tools for as many platforms as we can."
