I’ve just returned to the UK after a week in Silicon Valley at a Microsoft event. The event was called SocialFest 2010, and was a competition designed to show the new capabilities of Sharpeoint 2010. 7 teams from around the world were invited to take part, and to produce a solution atop Sharepoint 2010.

Send Huddle to SxSW!

Posted on 24. Aug, 2009 by Andy.

South by Southwest (SxSW) is an annual Interactive, Music and Film conference that takes place in Austin, Texas. There are many, many things that make SxSW special (c.f.

Posted on 22. Apr, 2009 by Andy.

When Mike Butcher of TechCrunch asked me to participate in a panel on ‘Balancing Tech Culture’ at the Geek n’ Rolla , I thought I’d better find something to talk about. Enter ‘Getting women in start-ups’ research survey targeted at the tech and start-up industry. The results were predictable. They usually are on a 200 [...]

So what are you doing 28-30 April this year? Huddle will be at the Innovation Pavilion at the Internet World 2009 along with Webjam, Siondo, Fresh Networks and Xero.

Huddle is so cool

Posted on 18. Mar, 2009 by Zuzanna.

We always knew Huddle was ‘cool’, but it’s nice to hear it from someone else. Especially if it’s Gartner. Huddle has just been named in Gartner’s Cool Vendor in Collaboration report. Woot! That’s a brace of Gartner love, we were also named in its Magic Quadrant for Social Software and Collaboration last year. Alas not [...]
