The product competed with MindTouch,Confluence, Jive Team Collaboration and other collaboration platforms. It was acquired by PeopleFluent in 2012 and is no longer available as a separate product, though similar capabilities are supplied by the PeopleFluent platform.

Communication
Comparison of Communication features of Socialtext (discontinued) and Xink
We use Social Text as a platform to air our issues with different departments. We voice our concerns and suggestions so we can help find a solution to the problems we incur on a daily basis. We need to have social text as an app so we can communicate in real time not only during work hours.
We use Xink for every client that has a team and wants to remain "on brand" with any email correspondence regardless with whatever device they are sending from, be it phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. We setup all our Xink instances so that it is "fully server side" which means the email signature is injected while in transit and appear correctly at the recipients end. It does get some getting used to when composing emails and there is no signature but a few tests create the confidence needed.

Search needs a ton of improvements. It was very slow a year ago
Search result quality was also not that good
I know they have improved their UI recently but when i used it last year it did not really have any design elements which could be used to make the articles look more presentable. It was important for us as we used it for external communication as well.

Their primary method of support was via chat which is quite responsive and generally online. If it is outside their support time, support tickets are responded to within 24hrs. I also found the support docs helpful and relevant. They would have received a 10 if it wasn't for when we had a support query and it took a couple of different agents before the solution was found in an existing support doc. Would have though that all their agents would know their knowledge base a lot better.

I frankly like Confluence better than socialtext because of the speed and the quality of search. They also have better design elements which can help make the articles pleasant to the eyes.
We used to use Simprex, and evaluated quite a few other email signature platforms such as Rocketseed/Parrot Digital and Exclaimer. We found Xink simply worked! First time and every time. It was also very cost effective and as a re-seller being able to view all out clients in a single pane of glass was also very convenient.
