Casual Rumblings

We use Fusetalk and have had good success with it. Based on our interactions with their sales and support staff, it seems very much alive and well. It ain't free however. In our case, having the ability to deploy many forums quickly, all the related features (list serve, blog, etc.) and the support have made it worth the money. But, that may not be the case for everyone.

Hi, FuseTalk is certainly alive and doing well. We have light activity on the outward-facing forums, but we, as well as the majority of our customers, use FuseTalk internally and within closed communities every day. In terms of product development, we recently released a major version of our .NET product, and are working toward the next release on ColdFusion. We also have launched a new product called FuseDiligence, which is an evolutionary step towards increasing the value of discussion by focusing on collaborative business improvement and collaborative business intelligence (read more at http://www.fusetalk.com/ProductsServices/FuseDilig...). FuseTalk is an enterprise-class application, and while our prices are more expensive than less scalable products with limited functionality, inferior support and weaker security, our FuseTalk products are substantially lower in cost than other competing enterprise/corporate solutions.
