CollectiveX has launched its Web-based social networking (SN) and collaboration system with the aim of "maximizing return on involvement," said its CEO Clarence Wooten on Tuesday.
Aimed at groups, CollectiveX is a new twist on SN, which has, until now, been mainly aimed at expanding one's network, Wooten said.
His system, which grew out of the time and frustration he had with sitting on boards of organizations, focuses on creating "deeper connections with the contacts you already have."
CollectiveX aims to makes group communication easier by moving communications out of e-mail sent to a list and into a rich environment, complete with calendar, e-mail blasts, file sharing, group forums and social networking.
The system, which is free for a basic service that is ad supported and ranges to $149 a month for large groups with special needs, uses AJAX to create a rich and smartly designed Web-based experience.
