The market is large and most of these are inter-company collaboration
tools, so the network effects are low (my company doesn't care what yours
is using for project management and vice versa). I think the majority of
these tools need only a few thousand users to be profitable. Not that

As a non-Australian (currently living in Singapore), I find Colony to have a

Hello everyone,
I had somehow missed the "no lurking" rule and have been a silent member for a
