SOHO Solo West Cork

Vyew.com – FREE online collaboration and conferencing tool

Welcome to 2009! We all know that this is going to be a challenging year in lots of ways, especially for small and micro-enterprises like the typical SOHO Solo outfit (actually, I don’t think there is such a thing as a “typical” SOHO Solo but that’s a topic for another post ), but there are also opportunities out there that SOHO Solo’s are ideally positioned to explore.

One such opportunity is the use of technology to help reduce costs and improve efficiencies – and there are some pretty amazing online services available to help small businesses do exactly that. Over the coming month’s we’ll explore some of them – starting in January.

Our usual SOHO Solo West Cork meeting haunt, the Celtic Ross Hotel in Rosscarbery, is closed – which leaves us venue-less for our January meeting. Rather than hunting for a different venue, I thought this might be an ideal excuse for us to try an online meeting / web conference instead.

We’ll be using Vyew, a FREE Anytime Collaboration and Live Conferencing service. It’s something I think most of us are pretty new to… but let’s give it a try and see what it has to offer. From the little I’ve played with Vyew it seems to have great potential for both online seminar / webinar type presentations and collaborative working. There’s also no need to download and install any software on your computer, it all runs up in “The Cloud” – which makes it quick, easy and convenient to connect and engage from anywhere.

I’ll post more details about our virtual January meeting soon. Meanwhile, check out Vyew for yourself – it could be just one of many online tools that could help your business be more productive in 2009.
