Taking on SharePoint – and having some fun with it!
Posted on 03. Oct, 2011 by Alastair.
As many of you are already aware, Huddle hasn’t been shy about taking on the big boys and going head-to-head with SharePoint.

At the end of August 2011, Worldwidewebsize.com claimed the indexed Web contained at least 11.94 billion pages, a mind-boggling volume of data.
