How is Hall's "real-time" real-timier than those of Yammer's or a number of other enterprise activity-stream apps?

Its pretty much a given that an activity stream app will use an socketi.io-ish messaging systme for real-time updates, some sort of APN service for mobile notifications and a visual tool for in-web-app notifications.

What does Hall bring to the table that differentiates it from other Activity stream[1] apps

*disclaimer: I work for Socialcast, VMWare's Social Enterprise App that has had these features for a while now.

#hint We have a Freemium model where 99% of features are provided for free to companies with less than 50 users.

Hi codenerdz....I'm CTO and co-founder of Hall. Our entire application is a single page application (no refreshing). That immediately makes our product more realtime than Yammer. This includes one-on-one messaging, file sharing, group chat, collaborative notepads, 3rd party integrations and friendship/contact management in multiple rooms and multiple networks. While Yammer may have elements that are RT, our entire world is RT.
