Effective companies share – Inc is built for them

We've had a few teams internally give this a try and found it quite good. Its a much better tool than a wiki which we've found stagnates or email which is often a pain to search.

We've been using Inc in beta at Bugsnag for the last couple of weeks, super useful product. HipChat integration is the best feature. Integrating with existing workflows a far better solution to inbox overload.

Seems interesting, but on https://sendtoinc.com/signup/:

    The requested URL /signup/ was not found on this server.

I'd rather not sign in with Google Apps...

EDIT: Ah, it seems that's not your actual signup link, it's instead at /accounts/signup/. You should change the signup link on your pricing page, then. (Also "Discuss relevant industry new." -> "Discuss relevant industry news.", but that's minor.)

Thanks for pointing these out, fixes should be live in a minute or two.

One question concerning pricing -- is it $5 after three users (e.g. $10 for five users) or $5 for all users once you have three users (e.g. $25 for five users)?

Hey, Bundlr dude here.

Congrats for such a nice and simple concept. Have you guys thought on adding more social features such as "likes"? We have been using a private facebook group for this type of thing within the team and it comes handy to have these typical social interactions.

By the way, when I tried to install the extension, the chrome web store opened inside the app window on osx and it failed to install because I was not in Chrome.

Not too much yet, we want to see what the initial feedback is before we go adding additional features (excluding groups, which is coming soon).

Thanks for pointing out of the Chrome issue, will get that fixed soon.

Definitely give Inc a try. We've been using it at Scoutzie for a while and it's great to share links and knowledge among the team in a secure and intimate way.

This is a cool tool. One thing that would make it fantastic for us is the ability to quickly share screengrabs and images. A good chunk of what we use HipChat for (and find it somewhat lacking) is allowing devs, designers, etc to paste a quick image of what we're working on. Being able to just take a screengrab and paste it in is really effective.

HipChat integration doesn't seem to be saving for me. I pasted in a Notification auth token that I generated (which caused a green checkmark to appear), and wrote in the ID of one of our HipChat rooms, but it doesn't seem to save the ID (if I leave settings and come back, both fields are empty).

Thanks, I'll have to take a look at this. Can you email me at hello@sendtoinc.com so that I can get back to you once it's fixed.

This is fantastic. Well done! One minor comment though... I'd like to hide links I'm no longer interested in, or at least mark some as read. I would get greater use from this with some inbox-like functionality--but that may not be the kind of product you want to build. </.02>

Thanks for the feedback. We need to consider a way of doing this. One idea was also that you could have filter, that would just show you all the unread posts.

I think if you're targeting companies for a data storage solution, you probably want to rather sell it in a way that the company has physical control of the data - it would be a much easier sell that way.

Something like Github enterprise?

We want to start small so saas felt the way to start. We're adding a way to export all the data and also possibly exposing the API soon as the app is already build on top of one.

Your website is interesting, seems like a good cross between pocket and evernote.

Could anyone point out how it differs from Atlassian's Confluence?

or Yammer?

or Salesforce Chatter?
