Jeremiah Owyang posts that “if you’re looking at upgrading to the new Sharepoint for it’s social media features, or at Sharepoint itself you must check out Blogtronix.” Although I respect the guy, I couldn’t agree with him. Blogtronix is nothing compared to the features provide by Microsoft Sharepoint 2007. Sure it might cost a bit, but dollar for dollar, Sharepoint 2007 lives up to the hype and hope more and more people realize this. Even Jeremiah has some doubts as both products are for different users:

I’ve used Sharepoint, and have tried demos of the recently released blog and wiki features. Perhaps the primary difference between Sharepoint and Blogtronix is that Sharepoint was intended and grown to be a collaboration tool, and now social features are being added on top. Blogtronix is less of a collaboration tool, and more of a social media platform. In many business use cases, both could meet the same needs.

Although, it does raise a good question, whether Web 2.0 features like wikis and blogs were an after though or a general progression for Sharepoint?
