cyn.in

cyn.in places itself as an enterprise Bliki service. It claims that it allows users to create, manage and collaborate on any type of data. Data would include rich content (saved as notes), audio, video, images, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, drawings, archives and any type of files.

Features

Advanced Search: The search is a Full Text Search Engine which allows you to search inside Word documents, PDF files, and all other common file formats even if they are inside a compressed zip file.

RSS: cyn.in has an extensive support for RSS and provides an integrated, customized RSS notifications feed for each of its users. This allows them to always be updated of all relevant activity in the system. The interface is really quick and yet easy all courtesy use of AJAX and XML-RPC.

Version control: Available - you can also quickly roll back to the earlier versions.

Image storage: The images can be added via notes and are also viewed in the gallery section of the dashboard.

Concept of Pages or ‘Notes’:

The basic principle is that a user can create a note, and to this note one can attach any kind of file which would make it your complete presentation package. Your notes will contain the rich text info including inline images, while the attachments can be additional worksheets, documents, movie files, etc. You can think of a note as a blog post, or a wiki page or a folder of files. You can use the action panel to edit a note, modify its contents, files and SlashTags, and manage versions of the note.

Editor

The editor is excellent with spell checker feature, rich text formatting, WYSIWYG table editor, resource and media manager, that allows you to add images and media inline into your contents and Full screen editing workspace. Hyper Linking is good and you can even remove a link in a single click.

Options to see code in html and the preview of the page, besides a full screen view. The table editing features are splendid. Create tables by hovering over the tool tip, edit, delete rows, columns with easy menu buttons, and use the convenient merge and split cell functionality.

SlashTags

SlashTags are text tags that you attach to any note. SlashTags allow you to organize your notes. For example: you can create a tag called ‘Knowledge Management’ and also have another one level deeper called ‘Knowledge Management /casestudies’. In this way a note saved to both ‘Knowledge Management’ and ‘Knowledge Management /casestudies’ can be accessed in both these SlashTags, very similar to a folder except there is only one instance of that note.

Permissions: You can share, publish, all in one go. You can do it later, when you decide to share it with a larger group. Not to mention add more users to your sharable list later.

The collaboration is neatly taken care by the concept of spaces. Any new note or page created is a personal one by default. When you share it with a few selected people, it moves into the shared space. The advantage is the membership of the shared group is exclusively in the user’s control. So data privacy is very rigid. If you decide to throw access open to everybody in your company (group), you need to publish it to the Intranet space. And finally when the note is ready for the World Wide Web, you need to publish it to the web. A really simple and neat progression of data from a private domain to a public domain.

Dashboard

The dashboard as the name suggests is a neat graphical way to glace at the activity happening in your site. The dashboard gives you Updates and even a Gallery; Updates showing the latest 20 notes in all your spaces while Gallery shows the newly added images.
