A new software service called Shareflow has launched, the creation of NYC-based company Zenbe. Until recently, Zenbe worked on little productivity tools, but this is its most impressive project so far.

Shareflow aims to let users ditch IM, email, wikis and other "disconnected" tools in favour of a system that lets you interact with one central "flow" via all those means. If that sounds familiar, then you might be thinking of Google Wave - of which a considerable amount of functionality is duplicated.

Of course, it would be difficult for Shareflow to have copied Wave, given that Wave was only announced a month ago and this has been in development for rather longer. Shareflow is proprietary, though, whereas Wave promises to be open source.

Also unlike Google Wave, Shareflow is available right now. Sign up for an account, give it a go, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

  • Wave is not really a replacement for email. It does somethings very well but clearly the focus is on collaboration.

    If email were invented today, it would look more like TrulyMail. Here is a company which re-invented email. Sure they have few users but that will change with time.

    We all know the problems with email: You don't know if/when your messages are delivered, too much spam, your messages are not really private, etc. TrulyMail solves these problems.

    The only problem is that it is a complete replacement for email (it actually has nothing to do with email and uses its own servers). Their latest release includes integration with email to make the transition a bit easier for those of us who live in the real world.

    Startups can challenge anybody. You just need a good idea. hard work, and good luck.     Posted by John, Vietnam
