ReviewBasics - Collaboration on the Document
By Vivek | May 31st, 2007 at 03:11 pm ET
Don’t we already have enough options to collaborate online? ReviewBasics thinks not. The NY based startup has come out with it’s own twist on collaboration targeted at Designers, photographers, writers, consultants, analysts… practically anyone who wants to comment, annotate, add shapes onto images and documents. In other words they want to take ”paper-based content review process and bring it online”.
The strength in ReviewBasics offering is that it enables review of pretty much all the standard file types including Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Images, Zip Archives, and Flash Video. As compared to that, most of the existing online office apps individually allow commenting on documents. This includes - EditGrid, Coventi, Preezo, Google Docs,….Besides that Octopz and Vyew are couple of other startups offering similar feature set. Given the competition, I don’t see much of a shelf life for an otherwise well developed solution.

Reviewing documents is just a part of the offering. ReviewBasics also allows for reviewing of images, web sites, and video. I think they have a pretty well rounded offering for a review tool.
They have some pretty slick features such as being able to turn off feedback from specific reviewers, or just hide specific commments.
I wrote up a walk through of using Review Basics to review the different types of content.
