SlideShare - Online Powerpoint and Keynote Presentation Tool - 9 views

  •  
    Slideshare is the worlds largest community for sharing presentations online with over 25 million users a month. Users can upload powerpoint and keynote presentations, and word and PDF documents. Presentations can be commented on, bookmarked and shared and it is a great way to learn from others [1]. Businesses can upload presentations or documents to share ideas amongst the organisation and also generate leads due to the viral nature of the platform. Slideshare is linked with many other platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter [2]. Search engines will index the information in the presentations and it will enhance search engine ranking [3]. Presentations can also be made private and only accessible to members within your organisation [2]. Slideshare is being used by many businesses to market their products or services using the platform as a lead and traffic generation tool by either highlighting your business or directly generating leads through Slideshares LeadShare or Adshare tools designed specifically for business. There are no upfront costs and you only pay when leads are generated[1]. Slideshare also has its own branded channels for afee. The business channel allows businesses or organisations to customise its own microsite targeting the professional community. Here you can showcase eBooks, webinars and presenations while capturing leads and targeting a specific audience. Each microsite is a customised project for Slideshare and can be worked into an organisations budget [4]. [1] Slide Share Inc (2009). Slideshare.

Tinychat - Free Online Group Video Chat Service - 1 views

  •  
    TinyChat is a web-based audio and video communication platform. It enables users to create group video chats or one-to-one (p2p) private video chats. With the group chats disposable or permanent rooms can be created with a simple URL for up to 400 participants and 12 live video streams. For the p2p video chat no sign up is necessary. It is secure and when the two people go to the same URL they are connected automatically and the call begins [1]. It doesn't require any downloads or plug-in's, and works on any browser and operating system [2]. TinyChat is a very social tool and can be connected with Facebook [4]. Now it has recently integrated with YouTube [5] for videos, Etherpad [6] for document collaboration and Flockdraw[7] for whiteboard features [2]. With YouTube, the administrator of the chat controls where to start, pause and end the video. Integrating Etherpad into a chat is simple and everyone in the chat can discuss a particular document while using Etherpads features as well as TinyChats. The document can also be saved and reopened in future video chats. Flockdraws whiteboard feature is similar to using Etherpad, but rather than using a document you can draw, paint, erase and write. With all these collaborative features TinyChat could become essential for any business that is spread globally [3]. [1] TinyChat. (2010). TinyChat.

Review Basics - An Online Collaboration Tool - 2 views

  •  
    Review Basics was created by Sharp Styles Lab and is an online collaboration tool that allows you to annotate and comment on documents, images on videos. Content is secured and password protected so it can only be viewed by people in your organisation that have been invited. You are able to invite as people as you like [1]. Review Basics is a web-based application so you do not need to download any software but Adobe Flash does need to be installed to provide feedback using the simple drag and drop tools. The application can also be used by anyone in your organisation from any location in the world. It supports many file formats and if you find a file format that is currently unsupported, Sharp Styles Lab will do their best to accommodate you. [1]. With Review Basics you can upload draft proposals and invite staff to provide feedback and exchange ideas [1]. It is ideal for organisations that are geographically spread. Even in smaller businesses it can be difficult to organize staff for face-to-face meetings, so collaborating in this way makes discussion much easier and allows everyone to be involved in a decision making process [2]. It also allows for members to think about a proposal more thoroughly before offering feedback or making any comments [3]. [1] Sharp Styles Lab (2010). Review Basics.
