Injoos R2, the second major release is out and this brings together the most comprehensive set of features for collaboration among teams. After being in Alpha for 6 months and getting feedback from the early movers as well as through usability studies, the product has been enhanced inside out keeping in mind the needs of today’s internet user.

The release brings some major enhancements to the product as well as some cool new features. Revamped profile and account settings, a Group Home page from where one can pretty much do all activities, image gallery and slideshow for the library, document viewing and editing through integration with Zoho Docs, subgroups nested under groups to build your org/team structure, web/voice conferencing through integration with DimDim, enhanced showcase (portal) for the group to name a few. Add to that the advanced search that allows one to search inside documents for keywords.

You can use your Google or Yahoo userID or any other OpenID provided by providers like Blogspot, SingleID, Verisign etc to easily login to Injoos. No need for lenghty registration process. We have left that to the biggies to authenticate and give us a go ahead. And yes , your ID is absolutely safe as we don’t store your Google or Yahoo ID anywhere on our servers. We just let them authenticate you for us !

• To start with, the landing page for your group, which is the showcase page with its subdomain URL or your own URL mapped to the subdomain, has been enhanced give you a rich look and feel. There are custom pages that one can add as well as upload a group logo or banner GIF to create your own identity
