Web Colaboration

yes folks its 2008, there are much better ways, and cheaper ways, to get together and share ideas. With gas climbing above $4.00/gal its hard to justify a short ride across town to get together for a meeting. The solution, Mikogo. Mikogo is a free, yes thats right I said the F word, online screen sharing tool.

How will screen sharing help you? Easy. Say you need to give a presentation, just open your presentation software, start a Mikogo meeting and give folks your meeting ID. Once they have your meeting ID all they need to do is go to www.mikiogo.com and click in upper right hand corner where it says “join a meeting.” Once they enter in your meeting code and their name they will be able to see you screen. For security purposes you can be selective about which parts of your desktop, or programs you choose to share with your clients/friends/co-workers.

Once connected you can give your presentation or perhaprs work on a document together. You can even give mouse and keyboard control to folks who come to your meeting allowing them to add their two cents to the document. You can also share photos with family and friends.

Now, it is 2008 afterall (as I stated previously) and I’m sure you are wondering about security. Well have no fear. Mikogo uses the industry leading standard of 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to secure all the connections to and from the Mikogo servers. This should give you great piece of mind when sharing those documents that have company trade secrets or those pictures you really don’t want anyone else to see! (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

All joking aside you really should check out Mikogo. Extremely easy to use, can be used in some MANY situations, safe & secure and of course its FREE!!

Special thanks to Andrew for providing me information on Mikogo and introducing it to me.

Cheers!
