Save a Meeting - Record Your Skype Calls...

Situation: You Want to Record a Conference Call, Rather Than Take Notes.

You can argue about legal implications of recording calls all day long, but everyone on the call knows you're recording a call, its ok.  Often as Project Managers, our conference calls contain an awful lot of detail about commitments and progress that get lost in the shuffle.  A recording of official status meetings and the discussions that form the basis for key decisions can be really useful.  I think that many of us know people who have done this "reporter style" with mini recorders at face to face meetings.

 Callburner allows you to make recordings of Skype calls that you can keep as MP3s.  So picture this:
- you can focus on the meeting, not the notes
- you can literally have a record of commitments, etc.
- you can easily add or attach these recordings to  a variety of project documents.

Also think about how useful this would be for:
- interviewing stakeholders
- understanding the specifics of interactions between team members during important meetings where you could not be present. (and perhaps eliminating schedule conflicts where one person might be "optional", but you're not really sure)
- posting podcast statements from high-level sponsors about "what is really important" about the project.
