"We believe that our approach is differentiated in two significant ways: our aggressive speed of product innovation enabled by weekly releases helps us deliver cutting-edge solutions to meet customer needs in the fast-moving social software market; and our viral adoption capabilities enabled by a highly intuitive user interface combined with freemium pricing and software-as-a-service (Saas) delivery model helps companies get business value from social software with the lowest possible cost and risk. We believe that this approach to building and delivering social software is the way of the future and will shape the enterprise social software industry."
