I’ve been meaning to uncover some of the talents in the web industry of Australia. Forgive me if I’ve missed anyone, you can blame me for not already spending enough time to do more research.

Their wiki software, Confluence, is also very popular and is a leader in wiki functionality and UI design. They received the Deloitte Fast 500 Award earlier this year.

Atmail

‘Web 2.0′
