Blogtronix Wins Red Herring Global 100 Award

Company News: On Thursday January 14th, Blogtronix (www.blogtronix.com), a global leader in enterprise social software, was selected as a winner of the 2009 Red Herring Global 100 Award (http://www.redherring.com/Home/26281) at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Dana Point, CA. Blogtronix qualified for the award by having won the Red Herring North America 100 Award in 2007. Last month, Blogtronix was named to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for social software, recognizing the industry leaders in that sector. The award comes on the heels of Blogtronix' acquisition of micro-blogging company Edno23 and the popular release of the open source micro-social platform called Sharetronix (www.sharetronix.com). It also comes in advance of releases of Blogtronix version 3.5, and BlogtronixMicro, the company's premium micro-blogging platform. Details: The Global 100 Award represents the top 100 private technology companies in the world over the past three years. The Global 100 is considered a valuable resource by technology industry executives, investors and observers for discovering the next wave of innovation and the promising companies that are on the cutting edge. Past winners of the Global 100 Award include Google, Skype, YouTube, Netscape and Salesforce.com. Market Outlook: Recognition by both Red Herring and Gartner in the past month clearly places Blogtronix in the category of an industry leader in enterprise social software. The release of version 3.5 and of BlogtronixMicro later this quarter should allow Blogtronix to grow on its building reputation. What Others Are Saying: "Choosing the best out of the previous three years was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, Publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,200 potential companies to 200 finalists. Trying to get it down to 100 companies was a task upon itself. The top 100 companies who were chosen should be extremely proud, the competition was difficult."
