“HBE Software today announced OpenDesk.com, the first free, Open
Source Internet workspace. OpenDesk.com aims to revolutionize the
way software is developed, distributed and used.”

OpenDesk.com provides computer users with access to free
software applications via the Internet. Here users can access an
assortment of free productivity tools including an online calendar,
a contact manager, a bookmark manager, and email, as well as file
storage, voting, discussion and real-time messaging.
The
applications are group-enabled, so users may work alone or in
shared workspaces. These browser-based tools will also soon be
compatible with handheld computers and other Internet devices.”

“Users can customize their workspace with a variety of editable
themes, skins, and other configuration options. All OpenDesk.com
software is multi-lingual, running in English, French, and Chinese
(with Spanish and German coming soon).”
