Teleconferencing Events and a Business Collaboration Site

This week has been busy with our first teleconferencing event. Everything has turn virtual and we are using WebEx as the medium in which things are presented. Unfortunately we are still using WebEx in a way that is was unintended to be used, but we are managing the best we can. The presenters are coming through their web cams and we are then pulling this image for our video stream. The quality has gone way down but it is what the client wants. The interaction is completely web 2.0 as people are collaborting during the presentations. The limitations from programming or bandwith issues have hindered some of the collaboration, but it is interesting to see how this is evolving.

During one of the presentations I overheard some talking about a site called Jive. http://www.jivesoftware.com/

Jive boasts themselves as a social business software. It seems to be a collaboritive forum of some sort. It would be interesting to do more research on this. I will have to spend some time looking in more deatil on their site. There might be something I can learn from this new site that our company might find useful...
