Webcast 2.0

You know that feeling you have on a webcast that not everyone is paying attention?

Or, how some of us (guilty as charged) attend webcasts from home in less than full professional dress (unshaven and t-shirts).

Well, that era is slowly coming to an end.

There's a new product called Microsoft Roundtable which (along with the video capabilities of Microsoft Live Meeting) now brings conference rooms together.

It really adds to the experience.

There's a common fact cited that only 7% of communication is verbal. So what this technology means is (in addition to having to get dressed for webcasts) you can get closer to having the connection you experience with face to face at a fraction of the cost.

Of course, it doesn't replace face-to-face, but it does augment. Another tool in the belt.

Very neat.
