Hurricane Earl doesn’t have to ruin your day!

by admin on September 1, 2010

Hurricane Earl is already doing damage to people’s productivity.  Just check out the trending topics on Twitter.  Conversation about Earl is hitting a high, as the Twitterati focus in on this new distraction.

Fortunately, even if Earl does touch down on Thursday as some are predicting, it doesn’t have to impede your productivity. Natural disasters happen, but with modern collaboration tools like Calliflower, business can still carry on. Calliflower has local dial numbers over most of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States and Canada.

So stay at home, make yourself some hot tea, pick up the phone and make a few conference calls.

SquawkBox December 9: InnerPass

by alec on December 19, 2008

InnerPass Logo 16-12-08 200px On December 9 we talked with InnerPass Executives Steve Parsloe and Bill Trail about the launch of their Inner Pass “Share, Collaborate, Communicate” Certified Skype Extra – a web-based persistent document sharing service that supports conversation and collaboration activity by invoking Skype voice services and Instant Messaging (chat) as well as screen sharing. A basic use case scenario would be where a project administrator or team manager creates a virtual “meeting room” with a set of project- or task-related documents, such as engineering drawings or legal contracts. The host can then invite other team members or individuals that he wants to have access to the room. The documents are accessible at any time by the meeting room members whom also have the ability to upload their own files and add additional participants. The files can be stored for as long as they are needed for the project and controlled with a version management process. When the relevant team wants to hold real time conversations they can either launch an “instant ad hoc conversation” or schedule a meeting and launch a conference call and/or team chat session via Skype’s multi-party calling and group chat services. Team members can be brought into voice conference sessions via either Skype or SkypeOut.

For this call Steve hosted a desktop sharing presentation that demonstrated how rooms were created and how conference conversations (voice and/or chat) were set up. InnterPass is a hosted work or community team-building service with additional tools for screen sharing, email, inviting and removing team members as well as the level of member participation permitted. Since its mid-October launch there have been over 42,000 downloads of their Skype Certified version.

During the call there is mention of a GoToMeeting session; while we could not record that, the PowerPoint deck used at that session is attached.

On the Calliflower Conference Call today: Jim Courtney (Moderator), James Body, Bill Trail, Steve Parsloe, William Volk, and Sergio Meinardi .

The Globe on Wikipedia

May 1, 2006

The Globe and Mail did something really unusual this morning: they devoted an editorial to Wikipedia (behind their premium firewall, sorry!).  Normally reserved for political or social commentary, the editors wrote about this internet phenom instead.  Towards the end, this paragraph explains the motivation: The Wikipedia model is not perfect, but its success has implications that [...]
