"It is my aim, and the aim of the entire Software.com team, that you come to rely on us for the straight scoop on all things 'software.' Let me know how we're doing."

I'm Mike Bell, the founder and CEO of Software.com. I'd like to thank you for visiting our site and take a moment to tell you where we came from and where we're heading.

Software.com was founded on a couple of important beliefs. First, it's way too hard for consumers to sort through the over abundance of software available today. We believe that people need only a relevant assortment of the best titles. As a result, our product team has done much of the work of finding the industry's best programs in the most popular software categories. And we are adding more every day - but only titles that we can vouch for.

How do we accomplish this? We have hired a team of independent expert reviewers to evaluate the software we carry and to report their findings to you in plain English. Over time, you also will see more unfiltered user reviews from people just like you and me, discussing their experiences using software purchased from our site.

Internet Real Estate Group, LLC, a leader in the development of Internet Real EstateTM and online brands, owns and operates a portfolio including Software.com, Phone.com, Podcast.com, Sweepstakes.com, Chocolate.com, Safety.com, Relationship.com, Jeans.com, and Patents.com, comprising a media network of websites and communities representing some of the most important online categories.
