USA Today just posted a piece on how we are perceived against Sharepoint. It's not a long read, but they do a great job of framing the Clearspace approach and the Sharepoint approach. Here's a clip:

 

 

Jive Software wants to be the Apple Computer of corporate social networks. Jive's competing Clearspace system supplies all the bell and whistles in a slick, tightly integrated package. Jive only does Clearspace. I caught Chief Strategy Officer Sam Lawrence in a black Jive t-shirt gathering intelligence at Microsoft's conference. He showed me how companies like Sony, Nike and John Deere are using Clearspace to enable employees to collaborate on what functions  like a highly refined Facebook-like internal web site. "We're a pleasure to use, exactly like the iPhone," Lawrence told me. "SharePoint is clunky; it’s more like FrankenSuite."

The exposure is nice, but I'm disappointed there were no real facts or comparison points in this article.  I'd love to derail sharepoint on the home front.  However, I can't point someone who's on the fence to this and say, "see it's great because their strategy office says so plus they say their like Apple."  I don't recall Apple having a large market share in corporate america.

I too would also like to see a comparison chart of Clearspace vs. Sharepoint. We're currently looking at the advntages of Sharepoint. I would also like to see case studies of orgs that switched from Sharepoint to Clearspace.
