Box.net takes on Microsoft’s SharePoint
Much like Apple took a stand against the PC, Box.net is taking on their competitor, Microsoft’s SharePoint. Box.net and SharePoint are both online services for sharing content.
A promotional email sent by Box.net says:
“We’ve noticed a lot of businesses are switching from SharePoint to Box.net because we make it easier to share content and collaborate.”
In addition to offering a free trial (the unsatisfied get 3 months of SharePoint for free), Box.net is encouraging consumers to tweet their frustrations with SharePoint using the hashtag #SharePointBlues for a chance to win a t-shirt. Their favourite tweet will win not one, but two, Macbooks.
Let’s see if it ends up in the trending topics.
