DEMO CONFERENCE, Station #35 -- Huddle.net, the provider of collaborative

Facebook virtual team workspaces at the DEMO 08 conference. In its 18th year,

demonstrate several new product features including Facebook integration,
embedded Web Office tools such as Word and Excel and Huddle Desktop for easy

the Web worker or personal project manager by connecting the people they know

"In the last 10 years, the line between business and personal computing
has blurred as technology has allowed us to access the people and content we
need from anywhere and everywhere. Today's tech-savvy person demands access
to whatever services and solutions they need - the ones that work - whether
we are planning a wedding or coordinating a customer project," said Chris
Shipley, executive producer of DEMO. "Huddle.net is the first virtual
collaboration service to integrate the social networks we rely on today and
the business tools we need into a single, secure space where we can view
everything that is important to us."

With Huddle.net consumers and businesses can instantly create networks of
secure workspaces. The Huddles can be open, allowing the groups to work and
grow organically, or closed with specific permissions for each user. The key
is that any one with or without an account can be invited into a Huddle and
become part of a team or project. At the DEMO conference, Huddle.net will
launch three new key features that will extend every team's ability to get
something done:

-- Facebook Integration: Access Huddles, add team members from friends
       and files, approve actions and update profiles ... all through you
       Facebook account.
    -- Huddle Desktop: Drag and drop new documents or access your Huddle
       content directly from your desktop.
    -- OpenSAM Integration - Create, view and edit documents in Word,
       PowerPoint and Excel within Huddle on any Web browser through embedded
       Web Office tools from iNetWord, EditGrid and Preezo.

teams to Huddle up for free. The new free version of Huddle includes three
team workspaces, one Gigabyte of document space and unlimited team members.
