  Very good direction taken by SocialText. A free service is the only way to allow people to discover the real benefit of a collaborative tool. Otherwise they don't have enough time to do it, because sometimes it takes 1 year to adopt this new behaviors. With Mayetic we had this kind of cycles, our customers buying us our solution 1 year after having used our free solution. And we didn't have offered free solution, they never have used this kind of solution, and they never have bought it... Perhaps BlueKiwi has the same problem with their 30 days limited time free offer. With more tha 5 years of feedback about how people adopt this kind of solution, we know that this is the only way, because we tested all the possible kind of sales during this 5 years ;)

  Basically, Socialtext Free 50 allows companies to sign-up and get many of Socialtext’s services for free, for up to 50 users. That includes the service’s social networking, wiki, site building and messaging tools. The only constraints are that you’re limited to one wiki workspace (paid accounts offer unlimited), and there is no support beyond the basic online variety. “We think we picked the right line of what can we give away,” Socialtext co-founder Ross Mayfield tells us.
