Online Conferencing With a Twist
Situation: You Can't Afford WEBEX... The folks at Zoho produce all sorts of really simple, really useful widgets that strike at the heart of what you're really trying to get done. Zoho Meeting is currently in beta, but I can't wait for it to go into production. It can be used in a variety of ways, but the obvious use is as a WEBEX replacement. It doesnt require a download if you use the flash version and I particularly love the integration with their other products and MS Office. Disclaimer: I have not tried this product personally yet, but I'll update this posting once I have. |
