Atalasoft claims its new Vizit Social eXchange fills an important gap in SharePoint 2010's social media platform by enabling micro-blogging about specific content

Vizit Social eXchange utilizes the SharePoint collaborative workspace as a forum for sharing thoughts and ideas about content, enabling organizations to let their content/knowledge base become a catalyst for innovation and growth.

The company claims it moves SharePoint 2010 closer to a complete Enterprise 2.0 solution.

"We noticed the SharePoint Notes infrastructure seemed to be targeted towards status updates," said Paul Yantus, President of Atalasoft.

"We felt there was really no good solution for simply having a dialog about the content in the repository." Yantus continued, "It's not unusual to read an analyst report and agree with 90% of it — Vizit Social eXchange allows users to highlight the other 10% and share a different view.

“More importantly, Vizit Social eXchange engages the entire workgroup around new thoughts and ideas, truly accelerating collaboration and innovation."

Atalasoft, a provider of viewing, annotating, and image processing technology, plans to release and ship Vizit Social eXchange in the 4th quarter of 2010.
