OK, here we go. I have started work on a new series of blog posts introducing various videoconferencing vendors and their products, services, applications and philosophy (Thanks, Dave! Gotta love Coworking!). I hope to be able to introduce my loyal reader of this blog (yeah you! :-)) to the various options you may have for implementing video conferencing in your
Read moreUPDATED: 5/25/2020 Ah yes, I remember it well. I remember the day when I had to order an ISDN line at home (remember 2B+D?) to attend a videoconference from home (hey…I practice not just preach telecommuting!). Then, what seems like a short time later (and after ATM and Token Ring fell by the wayside…) we set-up pretty close to the
Read moreDamn this is great! Friend Czoli from Vidyo shared this on Google+ today. I have said this a thousand times before: Video conferencing anytime, anyplace, anyone. Vidyo (see my getting old review of Vidyo here). — —
Read moreWell, it seems that Facebook now offers point-to-point video chatting from within Facebook. Good for them! BUT…point-to-point is kinda useless…just saying. I have more than one friend I like to chat with, and all the Bay Shore Kids could have a reunion. Overall Opinion HoHum, but, at least video conferencing is now reaching the masses. After 20 years….my work is
Read moreJust wanted to post this video as an introduction to a new company, StarLeaf, started by some old friends (from Codian). I’ll be learning more in the coming weeks (I may be meeting with them in July) and will keep you posted. By the way, when the Codian came out, I was one of the first supporters, and LOVED it
Read moreMy loyal reader probably remembers when I first saw ooVoo (this is a reclaimed blog entry since the original was lost with all the movement). I thought at the time that ooVoo was the greatest video conferencing application I had seen in awhile. Over time, I loved it even more that it included multi-person (3 and then up to 6) videoconferencing…..for
Read moreFor some reason, I just HAD to post this press release. Interestingly, the contact for Vidyo is given, but, not for the Vatican. Should we call the Pope? Or should we go higher? 🙂 Seriously, this is awesome. And as I have said before, Vidyo is awesome. Vatican City Selects Vidyo Video Conferencing Technology to Ease Communications between Offices of
Read moreMy daughter mentioned to me last night that she and some friends tried to make a multipoint video call using Skype, but, had to sign up, and pay for, Skype Premium to do so. They used ooVoo instead. (NOTE: ooVoo when I last looked at it rocks!) I looked this morning…..and here is the scoop: Skype multipoint is NO LONGER free.
Read moreUPDATE: August 24, 2011: Mirial is now part of LifeSize. Got an email from Mirial telling me that they now support the connection of iPad 2 video conferencing to standards-based H.323 and SIP videoconferencing systems such as Polycom, Lifesize, and Cisco / Tandberg (I’m sure Mirial too…..but they left themselves out…). From what I can gather, Clearsea is set of
Read moreSorry ’bout that. Just reporting the news on the technical front. And, hey, like we are all innocent here…duh. 🙂 The Washington Post reports that yesterday the Internet naming authority has approved the use of the .xxx suffix. “On Friday in San Francisco, the California nonprofit that oversees Internet addresses gave the green light to the virtual red-light district.
