Communote is a lean web-based social communication platform for teams and small organizations. It combines the ideas of transparent messaging, blogging, activity streams with superior tagging and filtering into a single easy to use web interface.
History of Communote
Initially, Communote has been developed by a German consulting firm Communardo Software GmbH with focussing on small and medium-sized businesses in the German-speaking countries. The development was inspired by spread of the early social media platforms e.g. Twitter. The first commercial version was launched in 2009 - both as cloud and on-premise installations. Communote GmbH, a subsidiary of Communardo, is offering a cloud platform based on Communote available at www.communote.com.
