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.

Disclaimer: I have not tried this product personally yet, but I'll update this posting once I have. |

Situation: You Need A Basic Lesson on Wikis Inside the Firewall...
Here are some thoughts around when, where, and why wikis are used. I still meet people every week who are unfamiliar with wikis in general - even more who are have never heard of them as business tools. If you're still a bit foggy on the subject, this BusinessWeek:CEO's Guide to Corporate Wikis Podcast isn't a bad thing to listen to while you work. |
