Caleb wrote this past week to point us toward a brand new offering from Microsoft called “Teams.” We aren’t quite clear on their pricing model yet. (It didn’t seem terribly obvious?) But it did indeed look like a new product — kind of a cross between Facebook, Podio, and a group Task List? Check it out at…

They blogged about it here…
And please let us know what you think in the comments below. And if you can find pricing, please point us to it. Thanks! (And thanks, Caleb!)
It includes:
* email distribution list
* forum-type chat (like facebook)
* shared calendar
* shared tasklist
* shared notebook (powerful OneNote)
* shared files (OneDrive library)
Incredibly easy setup once you are an office365 client. I don’t know how hard it is ($$$ or elsewise) to become an o365 client – I’m pretty sure it is free for our org… But the application may have been significant?
Apologies, I skimmed quickly and thought this was in reference to the new “Office 365 Groups”. I see now it is “Microsoft Teams” which is something different. Please ignore my earlier post.
