By Rakesh Sharma, 30 June 2012
“There's an app for that,” is pretty much my friend's stock response to practically any problem in the world. If the app does not exist, my friend suggests that someone should build an app for that problem. His world is an app world. But, he is not the only one.

Team Knowledge Sharing: A Review Of Bloomfire
By Stephanie Watson, 8 May 2012
Today, we review Bloomfire, Inc. company dedicated to team knowledge sharing. The big idea is to ensure that people who have questions are connected to those who have answers in an easy-to-use SaaS application. A team leader can create a personal Bloomfire with a customized URL, invite team members and start sharing tribal knowledge – sort of SharePoint meets modern-day technology. Users can upload existing documents from their desktop or jump right into their Bloomfire and create a document, spreadsheet, webcam video or screencast on the fly with built-in tools. No Microsoft Office required. In addition, questions that are asked in a Bloomfire can be answered with the rich media tools. For example, if a rookie sales rep needed tips on how to sell to someone in the financial services industry, a veteran rep with success in this area could quickly do a webcam video or screencast demo to point out what to highlight during the pitch and share it in the team’s Bloomfire.
