Our mission is developing next generation office productivity tools that take full advantage of collaboration over the internet. The arrival of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) gives us the power and the moment to redesign the office experience. We can now combine the best of the old off-line desktop with the new possibilities of web-based software, where users work anywhere, any time, on any connected computer. This gives us an opportunity to fundamentally reshape the way office tools look and feel. We can adapt them to the modern way of working, where enterprise success depends on good collaboration in virtual teams that spread geographically and across organizational lines. Our first product TextFlow, already available in beta, embodies our vision: The office experience, redesigned for flow.

Welcome to Tonguetide, the language-learning social network. Like Facebook and Twitter, Tonguetide is a place to connect with people, except that here you'll be meeting people who want to learn languages too. Chat: You can practise your language skills with real native speakers by messenger (like Facebook Chat), video chat (like Skype), or our internal mailing system (email). Use our Match feature to find a native speaker fluent in the language you want to improve (ideally one who wants to learn your mother tongue), read their information to find someone you fancy talking to and invite them to chat by adding them as a friend, sending them a private message, commenting on their profile or "sticking your tongue out" (like "poking" on Facebook). Match: Our system will automatically alert you of new users who fit the profile you specified when signing up and will tell you the Match percentage. Our Members Map even allows you to pinpoint users' locations on a Google Map - so you could meet them face-to-face to chat the old fashioned way! Tonguetide classes: Take classes with one of our language teachers trained in the Tonguetide method. Our online classes offer speaking practise in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German combined with our self-study courses - perfect for those with a busy schedule. All you need is an internet connection, a microphone and a set of speakers or headphones. Take a Tonguetide self-study course: Our self-study language courses are packed with fun exercises, videos of native speakers and audio tracks for listening practice.
