Two Free Tools To Try For Online Meetings
The online meeting space continues to see lots of innovation, especially at what you can get for free.
There is a new service from FreeConferenceCalls.com called FreeScreenSharing.com that says exactly what it does and some major feature enhancements to YamLabs (for Yet Another Meeting).
Sell Tickets to Your Next Webinar With AnyMeeting
There are lots of free or inexpensive Web conferencing services available, but how about this interesting twist from AnyMeeting.com where you can sell tickets to your participants? It seems like a nifty idea, especially if you run your own speaking business. As we wrote about them last month AnyMeeting is an otherwise free Web service that has a lot of the features found in the higher-priced spreads: polls, invitations, text chat, and recorded sessions for later playback.
Free Video Sharing Tools For Businesses
With the announcement yesterday about Facebook's Video chat feature, there is more interest surrounding ways that you can share the apps running on your screen as well as your mug across a video link. There are dozens of Web conferencing products that I have cataloged here and I will mention a few of these services that are completely free and can be used to set up a video link between at least two computers with a minimum of fuss and bother
IT Poll: Do You Still Use Internet Explorer 6 in Your Workplace?
Last week Microsoft launched its Internet Explorer 6 Countdown website, celebrating the dwindling use of the decade old browser.
But as we've reported, there are a few reasons that IE6 persists in the enterprise: the cost of upgrades, mission-critical legacy applications that aren't compatible with newer browsers and, oddly, social control.
Are you still stuck with IE6 in your workplace?
Do You Want a "Cloud Desktop?" Gladinet's Release Candidate is Here
Gladinet is a free Windows software program that lets you mount cloud storage as local folders on your PC while keeping both locations in sync with each other. It provides access to a number of "cloud" storage services which include: Amazon S3, Google Docs, Google, Picasa, ThinkFree, Zoho, Windows Live SkyDrive, and more. The product, which debuted as a tech preview back in the summer of 2008, has finally reached the release candidate milestone, a point at which the software should finally be more stable, more usable, and (hopefully) bug-free.
Joint Contact: First Business Tool To Integrate Twitter?
Enterprise 2.0 is a rapidly growing trend that takes the concepts and tools of social media (social networking, RSS, wikis, blogs, etc.) and re-purposes them for business use, wrapping them up into applications that make the tools at work seem more like the tools we use in our day-to-day lives. While these enterprise 2.0 apps give us that web 2.0 feel, it's rarer to see actual Web 2.0 services like Facebook or Twitter used by businesses. And although we've seen many people promoting the business use of Twitter, we had not yet heard about anyone actually going so far as to integrate Twitter into a non-consumer focused application. However, that's just what Joint Contact has done. Their PM tool now shows how tweeting can actually be a productive activity.
DreamFactory's Collaboration Suite Now Available on Intuit's QuickBase
DreamFactory's suite of Enterprise 2.0 applications consists of a Project Management module, a Time and Expense Module, a Document Manager, and a Team Calendar. (See our coverage of their launch here). Originally, the company was available on Amazon Web Services, but it looks like they aren't interested in being tied to just one platform. As of today, DreamFactory's software will be available on Intuit's QuickBase platform, which makes it the fourth platform for DreamFactory's suite. 
Iceberg Launches, Now Everyone Can Program
There was a time when only technically-savvy people knew how to create content and publish it to the internet, but the rise of easy-to-use blogging and CMS systems changed that. Today, everyone can be a publisher. Now, Iceberg wants to bring that same democratization to programming. In fact, that's their vision for Web 3.0 - the web where everyone is a programmer.
Goodwill Using Web Technologies to Drive Business
Steve Bergman, CIO of Goodwill Industries, recently discussed Goodwill's use of innovative technology for the non-profit and how it drives the business. For example, some of the company's new offerings include their recent launch of an open source web portal for online collaboration and the company's use of geo-spatial mapping tools for their public web site. Meanwhile, internally, his company's technology focus was on improved inventory management and "going green."
Social Tools Go to Work...Facebook, MySpace, Netvibes, iGoogle, and More in the Enterprise
A company called WorkLight, Inc. is hoping to bridge the gap between the ease-of-use of the social applications consumers use at home and the complexity of the enterprise applications that are used in business. To do so, WorkLight isn't just taking enterprise applications and adding web 2.0-like features, they are actually taking the social applications and tools that already exist and are adapting them for business use. Currently, the company works with fourteen of the most common social networks and social tools, including MySpace, Facebook, Netvibes, iGoogle, RSS, del.icio.us, and more to create enterprise-grade applications. The software, which was previously Linux-only, has now been made available for Windows servers, too.
