What's it do?
Simply put Six helps individuals catalog, tag, and distributes the vital content and conversations that are already happening in your organization. How does it do this? It organizes people and content based on interest and need. Tapping into an individuals knowledge and freeing it from the confines of their inbox and then sharing it with others.
Structural Foundation
Every knowledge system has a way to organize the relevant data that it is suppose to store. Six approaches this by creating a two level hierarchy that is simple, yet powerful. Groups and Topic Areas. Each department, or project, can be a Group and inside of each Group are the Topics that are most important to that team. Simple? Yes. Powerful? Absolutely. Every piece of content created - be it a question, a comment, an idea, or a document can be cross posted to the relevant topical arenas for easy storage, distribution and retrieval.
Ask
Throughout a workers week they will inevitably have questions that they need answers to. For each topical area there will be a listing of subject matter experts, both self identified and community identified that other employees can ask questions to and find contact information for. These questions can be asked in the public arena of the topical area so that all of the experts will be notified and when the question is answered it is then stored for future use. Each topical area will have self identified members and community identified experts.
Share
After structure is content creation, or the Sharing part of the knowledge system.
Sharing in an organization is the implicit act of taking knowledge that one person or group has and adding it to the collective intelligence of the organization, and in turn making sure that the right people receive this information. Content can be posted and categorized across different topical areas without duplicating that content in notifications or search functionality. Six allows you to share and create content in two ways.
Post and Reply From Email
Email is a very familiar tool to almost every employee. It is familiar, simple, powerful and not going away anytime soon. This is why Six allows each topical area to have it's own email address. Because of this creation of content is almost exactly the same as is currently being done through email; with one important difference. Instead of trying to remember all the people that need to receive an important piece of information such as a press release one would just write an email to press-release@companyx.com. This action would store and categorize the content, distribute it out to those who are subscribed to the topical area and allow comments to be made in a public forum leading to an increase in collaboration.
Create Content From the Site
Alternatively for those users who feel comfortable with it Six offers a full featured rich text editor with auto save, drafts, and a simple user interface that is quick and easy to use. Cross posting to different topical areas is a snap and editing your posts takes no time at all. Files can be uploaded and content can be rated, shared and stickied to the top of a topical area if desired.
Find
Once of the hardest things for a company to do is to make sure that the right information finds the right person at the right time. Once content is created other employees can find it one of two ways.
Subscription Notifications
Six makes it easy to subscribe the new content created in topical areas, either through email or an RSS feed.
From the first log in screen it is easy to 
see what areas a member is subscribed to. This allows for each person in
the company or team to choose what areas to subscribe to based upon their interest or need.
Search
Six has a powerful search feature that allows you to search based on the type of content, topical area or content author.
