Extranet Evolution - Keeping an Eye on Woobius
September 14th, 2009
Paul Wilkinson writes about our upcoming product, Woobius Eye:
"Woobius Eye, though, changes the nature of on-site/office collaboration. What used to be voice-only exchanges can now include words, pictures, sketches, lines and squiggles to clarify each participant's interpretation of the conversation. For professionals heavily reliant upon visual representation of their work, such functionality can help eliminate doubt, speed decision-making and reduce rework."

July 17th, 2009
Jean Lin, of Otto, interviewed Bob and Daniel and wrote another article about Woobius:
"We discovered Woobius — a file sharing and online collaborative tool — a few weeks ago and have since had the fortune of delving a little deeper with Bob Leung and Daniel Tenner, the founders of this UK-based tech start up that serves the architectural, engineering and design community. Leung is an architect with Make Architects and previously with Foster + Partners, while Tenner is the company’s CTO and the two answered some questions about the process of starting Woobius."

IT showcase, a directory of services for buyers of IT in specialist markets, covered our launch:
"The system has a rapidly expanding user base - already over 3,000-strong - attracted by its ease of use. As a web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, it is accessible from virtually any internet-connected computer.

The Woobius team believes the service makes advanced collaboration tools a viable option for even the most modest projects."

Useful tools, a web magazine for people who love web tools and apps, reviews Woobius and gives it a 4 out of 5 rating:
"There are other collaboration tools available for architects and engineers, but Woobius stands out for being easy to set up and easy to use. It’s also inexpensive-the first 200 MB of storage are free, and you pay $15 per GB of storage thereafter. The user interface is easy to navigate."

"No matter how far architecture has advanced thanks to innovative designs and modern materials, much of its creative process is still stuck back in the 20th century, until now. Online startup Woobius offers a set of easy to use information sharing tools that have been developed by an architect to enable fast, intuitive collaboration."
Woobius introduces the construction industry to 21st century collaboration
June 5th, 2009
Basheera Khan of TechCrunch, the notorious start-up and technology blog, covered Woobius in this excellent write-up:
"You’d think that with the futuristic and gravity defying creations they spawn, architects would be leading the vanguard of efficient working practices. It turns out they’re still stuck in the 90s, where sharing files and collaborating with partners and clients is done via CD and bike messenger, or – shock! horror! – even printouts sent by post."
