History
ActiveFocus originally was a desktop application created by Xapware Technologies Inc and was acquired by Falafel Software in 2005. While the software enjoyed success as a desktop application, president and CEO of Falafel Software, Lino Tadros, felt the application could be taken to a much higher level and be implemented in the form of a web application.
Utilizing the latest .NET technologies, use of Telerik RadControls, and a brand new UI (similar to Microsoft Outlook), Falafel Software relaunched ActiveFocus in March 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
