Xobni sees itself as much more than just a simple outlook plugin – they’re working on a YahooMail product and one assumes Gmail comes next. Perhaps now WorkLight and Xobni will see the synergies between them and do some sort of merger deal??? A kind of enterprise 2.0, email/social networking uber offering?

Stoked to read this morning that Worklight (DIversity coverage here) has secured USD12mill series B funding.

Worklight creates Enterprise 2.0 offerings that bring the look and feel of popular online consumer interfaces to business users. Worklight CEO Shahar Kaminitz says;

The vision behind WorkLight is that the kind of computing experience we have at home has become much stronger and more compelling than the kind of IT we have at work, It’s not just a matter of feeling good about the software you’re using, but it also inflates to hard dollars. The ability to collaborate and share knowledge and information with our friends on Facebook were completely missing in the workplace

Congratulations to the Worklight team
