Lunarr is a cool new Web 2.0 app in invite-only alpha. It’s a well-funded Portland-based start-up, founded by Toru Takasuka–famous for, in his previous life, for founding and running the online groupware company, Cybozu.
Lunarr is basically an enterprise wiki with a new metaphor for dealing with online docs–they’re “two-sided”, so someone writes a doc, then you can virtually “flip” it over and view and add metadata, like comments/messages, and attachments. Cool.
Thus, their tagline, “Create. Flip. Share.” They’re only recently out of stealth mode, and doing a clever viral alpha, inviting only “influence makers,” who can then invite other “influence makers” (Thanks, Isaac, for the invite!).
Near-time is a more traditional (and fully functional) enterprise wiki. I recently selected to use as the wiki for a startup I’m doing IT consulting for here in Portland–it won out over tools from:
Zoho, Google Docs, Clearspace, Traction Teampage, Atlassian Confluence, Onesite, Socialtext, Central Desktop, Brainkeeper, 37signals, Wetpaint, ProjectSpaces, Blogtronix, PlanHQ, Joint Contact, Zimbra, Project360, Mindtouch, Community server.org, Citadel, Airset, Systemone, ProjectForum, Taskbin and Firestoker.
Stay tuned for my in-depth reviews…
