Hi everyone,

Thanks for your correspondence and patience regarding the new flash video conference platform.

Those new to this blog, our current client download video conference collaboration software platform is getting a remake.

In as far as our brand new platform will no longer require a download on the owner / user side for the main feature of video and voice streaming, web browsing etc.

With that said, we envisage the first phase release about mid/late April as beta testing has shown the video voice streaming to be rock solid even with 100+ participants.

In addition, the server cluster is operating really well and we expect user seating capacity to extend to the hundreds which we’re excited about.

The powerpoint presentation is fabulous and works well and will allow conference room owners to upload .pps files to a maximum 128Mb.

Later version releases will include Desk Top Application Sharing (*lite java client-download) and is scheduled for July release.

One of the most common questions other than asking about the release date is will the current existing client v4.2 be discontinued. The answer is yes ultimately it will but not before the new flash version is fully featured.

Looking forward to posting our official launch dates real soon.

Our best to you and once again, welcome to our new customers and as always, we thank our all our customers for their on going business!

Regards,
Anthony Hosking CEO.

Business travel is a profitability killer!!
So do more and travel less with PC Video Conference , the global online meeting service.
 

What is it? 

Twitter is a tool for “micro-blogging” or posting very short updates, comments or thoughts.  In fact, since Twitter was designed to be very compatible with mobile phones through text messages, each update is limited to 140 characters.

Social Media

Social media is a great way to have a conversation with your market and make and manage connections with prospects, customers, friends, family, bloggers and other influencers.

Great way to Communicate

Typically as my day consists of running my company operations thus therefore allowing for little time to write a blog/s or answer lots of questions or messages.  So with that said, I can foresee Twitter as being a hughly successful application soon to dominate the “MySpaces and Facebooks” spheres.

Congratulations

Twitter founders Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams, the 2008 SNCR Innovators of the Year. The Innovator of the Year is awarded to the organization or individual(s) whose technological innovations had the most impact on the communications and media industry.

VOTE EARTH

YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming.

WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

How can Pc Video Conference help reduce your
individual or company’s carbon footprint?

Using Pc Video Conference Communications instead of one person flying from
Melbourne to London would save 12,521Lbs of Co2 emissions.

FOR NON ESSENTIAL TRAVEL – THINK PC VIDEO CONFERENCE
FREE TRIAL www.PcVideoConference.com

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights.

Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from.

VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm.

World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.

The theme for WED 2009 is ‘Your Planet Needs You, UNite to Combat Climate Change’. It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.

Last year’s United Nations World Environment Day Program “Kick The CO2 Habit” was such a success, we invite you and your environmental / community / small business group to once again enjoy our free video conferencing services in order to organise your activity or online video conference workshop.
