Pain
Online meetings are hard. Too many steps to get started, meetings start late and can be poorly attended due to the negotation of big downloads and lost bridge numbers and passcodes. Online meetings are restrictive and boring relative to content. You should be able to do more than share a PowerPoint and do a screenshare. It is very difficult to share hi-res imagery or video of any kind. Quality is signifiantly compromised. Lastly, most online meeting solutions tether you to your desktop/laptop and we are simply not a society that sits at our desks all day every day. We are mobile. We leave the office all day every day and we may or may not take our laptops, but we will ALWAYS have our mobile phones. And we need to be productive wherever we are.

VentureDig’s Take:
At first, I was not excited about another online meeting platform, until I actually checked out and tried Fuze Meeting. I use GoToMeeting and this is solves all the problems I had with GoToMeeting and then some. First off the UX(user experience) is much better, it is awesome that you don’t have to download anything, and I can do meetings from my iPhone! The product is there now it is up to the marketing experts to get the word out. If you use or have HD video than this is definitely for you. Sign up and try the free version, you won’t regret it.
