'''Brad Dowdy:''' Super good. Cool. All right. So, we have a lot more to cover, including the pen blog of the week. But let's talk about our good friends at Igloo before we get rolling.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Sounds like a great idea. This episode of The Pen Addict is brought to you by Igloo, an intranet you'll actually like. Igloo is built with easy-to-use integrated apps like shared calendars, Twitter-like microblogs, file sharing, task management, and much, much more. With Igloo, you can work better together with your co-workers. You're really easily able to co-author documents, share status updates about what the cake's like in the conference room, and manage your projects all in one place. When someone makes changes to an item in Igloo, notifications are sent in the way that you choose, and a complete version of history is maintained, keeping everything in sync. Just make sure that it keeps you connected and in touch with everything that's going on at work and in your business, but also gives you the protection in case Crazy Bob in accounts accidentally deletes that GIF on your presentation again.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, Crazy Bob.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Crazy Bob. We just can't control that guy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Recently, Gartner, those really important people over at Gartner, released their well-known report, The Magic Quadrant for Social Software in the Workplace, and Igloo appeared on this report for the sixth consecutive year alongside huge companies like Microsoft, IBM, Google, and SAP. They're shoulder-to-shoulder with these companies. Gartner said about them, this is an excerpt from their report, feedback from Igloo's reference customers was consistently positive. They praised the product's quick deployment, configuration and customization, flexibility with self-service options for non-technical users, control over branding and information organization, and the ease of use. They also praised the responsiveness of Igloo as an organization. What more do you need? You hear that sort of stuff from Gartner? You know that good stuff's happening. They're all smart people. Igloo are smart people. Everyone's smart. They're all awesome. You should be checking them out. If your company has a legacy intranet built on SharePoint, not old portal technology, there's no reason why you shouldn't be giving Igloo a try because it is free to use of up to 10 people. And you can sign up right now, igloosoftware.com slash penaddict, and it also helps support this show. Thank you so much to Igloo for sponsoring the Penaddict and RelayFM.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I just caught another Britishism of yours that I've never heard before.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, here we go.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Status.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Status, yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, what is the status of your project?

'''Myke Hurley:''' What is the status of the project? Would it be status?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Well, I don't know. I mean, who's to say? I'm saying it right. But yeah, status and status. That's a new one for me. So good job by you.
