"Startup PBworks, which was formerly known as PBwiki, specializes in helping businesses, non-profits, and educational institutions collaborate via wikis. The startup has steadily added innovative, real-time features to its platform, most recently integrating Twitter-like microblogging and tapping into the real-time stream. Today, the company is merging realtime collaboration with CRM in the new PBworks Customer Relationship Edition, which extends CRM solutions such as Salesforce.com by offering shared online workspaces for collaborating with customers and prospects throughout the entire customer lifecycle."

"The biggest addition may be the ability to monitor customer activity in a workspace, for example keeping track of whenever customers log into the site or download a file. Other features make it easier to work with many customers at once, by automating the creation of new customer workspaces with a few customized fields, and by sharing documents from a single repository, so that if you update a document the changes are reflected across all your workspaces."

"The real value however lies in the oversight this gives into how customers are engaging with a companies content. PBWorks gives updates for specific customer actions (page viewed, file downloaded etc) and these appear on an activity stream for the site - in this way a company can build some visibility into how customers are reacting to their content."
