Yes Galaxy Unite is currently only in North America. We will make sure to update the number form so that it works for outside of North America. Thanks for the heads up. You should still be able to make an account without adding your number. On Sat, Sep 21, 2013 at 2:43 AM, Will Bennis, Locus W

Hi Ashley, Galaxy Unite looks potentially pretty cool. But it also looks as though it only works for North America (I tried to get started setting up an account and it said my phone number was invalid). Is that right or am I just missing something? Will On Wednesday, September 18, 2013 12:19:

Exactly Craig.. if most members are already active on a popular site like Facebook, they will be most comfortable with a Facebook secret group or closed group then log on to something else. Gunasekar On 17 Sep 2013 22:58, "Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking" < baut...@gmail.com> wrote: > The

Hey there! It seems like you're not the only space that is looking for a better way to help members communicate with each other on a more frequent basis. About 3 months ago, I sent out a survey to approximately 60 coworking spaces around Canada and the US, and nearly half of the spaces who resp

Hey, folks. I am just thinking in create a social network exclusive for coworking community (spaces and members). It is kind of mix Facebook, Foursquare and LinkedIn. This is my presentation when I pitched a idea about that (in portuguese). http://goo.gl/M3G2e I found this tool that is exactly

I'm going to chime in my two cents here. I tried Podio, Hojoki, and Basecamp...after also researching several others. I pushed hard for Podio just for my small staff, and Basecamp won out. Why? It's simpler and "prettier". Once I used BC more, I realized why even I didn't use Podio as much - sa

Hi Oren- I suggest you spend some time looking at Podio's site to understand the limitations, it's all made clear there. The short answer is that you quite easily could do this, though you'd lose the 'employee network' which can only be accessed by those on the same domain as the admin. But f

Hi Tom, What are the external users' limitations (if any)? Seems strange to only charge for same email domain if that's so easy to spoof. If that's the case, why do you even bother to pay for two members and not just one? Thanks! oren On Thursday, September 5, 2013 9:25:37 AM UTC-5, Tom Lew

Tom, How long ago did Podio do that? I believe their website (now, anyways) specifically states that they don't do special nonprofit pricing. I wanted to get in touch with them recently about exactly that until I saw their site. Thanks! Matthew On Thursday, September 5, 2013 4:23:35 AM UTC-5,

I think we started with them about 18 months ago Bear in mind that even if their policy has changed, you can get away with using Podio with very few chargeable users. We have 10 users as part of our agreement with them, and despite having over 50 people on Podio across the various workspaces,

Hi there- we use Podio, and hugely recommend it. It's similar to Yammer, but you can build your own drag and drop apps (or use thousands of community built ones for free), so you can customize it to your particular space/workflow. We have tens of workspaces on it- and used it for our redevelo
