    near-time.net sounds a lot like jotspot to me. Was just wondering if you have tried jotspot and how the two services compare?Tom
  • Dennis Howlett · 3 years ago
    JotSpot is different. I've used it and while it is very good, it is really for more complex situations. It's JotSpot email handling is ugly and non-intuitive. I'm thinking of relatively straightforward, smaller projects. I'm trialling it in 2 projects and a possible 3rd.

    That is exactly the type of service I have been looking for, I for one would appreciate an invitation.  BTW: what plugin are you using for the WYSIWYG commenting?
  • Simon Griffiths · 3 years ago
    Hi Dennis - Near-time sounds like a facility I could use to improve communication with our distributed projects. Would appreciate an invite.
  • Dennis Howlett · 3 years ago
    Send an email to brian@near-time.net explaining why you'd like a Near-Time space and he'll create an invite code for you. I explained we were looking for a collaborative project platform for groups no larger than 6 persons for managing a multi-media project. All of which is true by the way! The reason  for this is that once you apply, you become the 'owner' of the 'group' so you can then set up additional spaces for different projects where the group composition might be different among each project.FYI - I'm using it on three projects at the moment. They're very different types of thing and so far the service is doing what we'd expect.

    Hello everyone,Dennis,We at Near-Time are most appreciative of your early adoption of Near-Time.net, and excellent feedback to date. I also appreciate the interest in the application of others reading your blog. However, my e-mail address is: brian@near-time.com, and not brian@real-time.net, as your previous comment suggests.I am only posting this so that Simon Griffiths, Greg Balanko-Dickinson, and others interested will not e-mail brian@real-time.net, receive no response, and think less of it for it.Once again, thank you for your feedback on Near-Time.net thus far Dennis, and keep up the good work with your site - I have been reading it fairly regularly, and not just to see what people have to see about Near-Time.

    I am so sorry Brian - the problem is that I see what you offer as Real Time - an area I'm very involved with elsewhere I've corrected it and let the persons concerned know.
  • Brian Flannery · 3 years ago
    No worries, Dennis. I assumed something like that had happened. It has also been the case that people sometimes try to e-mail brian@near-time.net, instead of brian@near-time.com, which is another understandable mistake. Thanks for letting the concerned parties know so promptly (I literally posted my previous comment 5 minutes ago) my correct e-mail address. Your use of Near-Time.net is much appreciated, and continues to be an asset to us.

    Brian, Dennis,The service is free at the moment.  When will it move in to a charged model, and can you give an indication of the likely cost levels so I can position it against some of the alternatives?
  • Brian Flannery · 3 years ago
    David, Although we have not yet finalized our price structure, I can tell you that we are currently doing so, and expect to have our pricing available in the very near future. The service will be priced competitively, of course, so it is unlikely to vary drastically from the alternatives you are looking at now (although hopefully you will find ours a better bargain!).
  • Brian Flannery · 3 years ago
    For those interested, Near-Time.net has now made pricing available in the Public Space: <http://public.near-time.net/wiki/show?title=Nea...>. Feel free to contact me at brian@near-time.com with any questions or needs.
