Best Screen Sharing Tools Reviewed Tomorrow At Kolabora Live!
Kolabora Live! Buyer's Review is back again with a new event devoted to Screen Sharing technologies. Yes, those nifty little tools that allow you to show your computer screen to distant attendees connected to the Internet from different parts of the world. Screen sharing has been around since the time of Microsoft NetMeeting and it has now matured in a group of sophisticated, yet easy to use solutions that range in price from a few tens of dollars per month to several thousand dollars for a perpetual license. Tomorrow's event at Kolabora Live! focuses on those technologies dedicated to screen sharing tasks (emarketing, online demos, technical assistance, business mettings, software training, etc.) or that have had this particular facility as the key foundation of their specific conferencing solution. The independent summary review that will open the event will include over seven alternative technologies while pointing to their overall strengths and weaknesses. Review criteria are UI/ease of use, performance, remote control, annotation tools, multi-platform compatibility, other features (like text chat and VoIP), price, customer support, availability of a good try-out. Right after the review the floor will be for the audience to provide live questions (VoIP and video available for all attendees), requests for advice and clarification on any of the tools showcased and about their relative issues. The event is free and lasts 75 minutes. Meeting time is 12 noon (NY). Registration is here.
