Podio is a new system that aims to address two major issues with how work is currently done: 1) Email and documents lock away information and are not suited for collaboration. 2) Companies use a variety of disconnected tools both internally and externally. Podio combines microblogging, streams, and wikis in a meaningful way within "spaces" that provide structure and context. It allows for networked organizations by enabling users to invite people across organizations and maintain a global identity. Podio also has social elements as work is transparent and items can be commented on or tasked.
