Quick List May 15, 2009

The Quick List (QL) is back this week after a short hiatus. I am finally getting caught up from my vacation to the Riviera Maya. It was my first trip to Mexico and I would definitely recommend it! This week list:

• A nice set of online services from Adobe (the PDF people) called Acrobat.com. Sign up for an account and you can test ConnectNow web conferencing service with features like video conferencing, chat, desktop sharing and remote control.


• Skype is free calls, video calls and instant messaging. Easy to install and use. It really simplifies video calls. Also check out Skype mobile.


• For video conference calls check out ooVoo which allows up to 6 webcams in one room


• WebEx Meeting Center is a service used by the NTEA for web\video conferencing


• GoToMeetings is an easy to use web conferencing solution with minimal configuration

There are some interesting questions being asked on twitter. Check out Jeff De Cagna of PI blog who runs #assnchat and the comments here and this followup post.

Question: Do you twitter? If so, how do you use it. (please leave your reply in the comments section)

I would also like to specifically thank Bridget for her feedback on finding an application for one of the links, Tiny URL, previously mentioned on the QL.
