Do you use email to distribute and manage your documents, share your ideas and organize your projects? And does that process go something like this...?

First, you circulate a draft to coworkers along with a note that provides some context for the document: what it is about, why it was written, and why it is being circulated. And then you wait for the feedback to trickle in: some folks may offer only general comments (looks great, but...) while a handful may actually edit the document and send you modified versions. Now, it's time to use some awkward combination of email folders and file folders to keep the comments and changes organized, so that the feedback is not lost and a decent project history can be maintained.

As the document evolves, you do more of the same... lather, rinse, repeat. With Kerika you can cut out all of these hassles because:

• Kerika lets you share documents in the context of a project, not just as random files that come flooding into people's email inboxes. Which means your colleagues get the big picture, not just the big files.


• Whenever someone modifies a document, everyone else on the team automatically gets a copy of the changes, and Kerika automatically files all the different versions on your laptop, like a super-efficient assistant.


• And it's not just edits that get automatically organized: Kerika also lets you attach notes to documents, so that your colleague's comments don't get lost in a mess of email and file folders.


• And since it works as a peer-to-peer network (or, as we prefer to call it, a people-to-people network^TM, Kerika lets you share really large files (up to 50MB in size!) that would just choke most email systems.


• And best of all, if some of the people you need to work with want to stick with email, Kerika will automatically send out emails to these folks, on your behalf, whenever a project or document or bookmark or anything else on an Idea Page changes!

That's why we say Kerika is the smarter alternative to email, and, we might add, the smarter alternative to team sites like SharePoint, eRoom and Lotus and the smarter alternative to hosted services from companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft!
