Shaking up the Web Conferencing Market
Shaking up the Web Conferencing Market
03/06/2004 02:09 AMThis week Convoq launched their
flagship personal web conferencing service, As Soon As Present (ASAP). The launch is a milestone
for the web conferencing marketplace which has to date been
characterized by enterprise-focused price points, despite software
experiences that have not yet graduated into the modern age of rich
client interfaces and experiences and presence-enabled
communications.
Convoq ASAP breaks a lot of ground in the convergence of presence
management, rich media instant messaging and multi-participant web
conferencing, and do this with an economics for the mass-market.
For less than $100 per year, users of ASAP can conduct an ulimited
number of meetings with up to 25 participants. Comparative
pricing from Microsoft LiveMeeting (Placeware) and WebEx is in the
tens of thousands of dollars.
This approach to the market reflects Convoq's philosophy that
real-time, rich media multi-participant online collaboration is ready
to be an everyday productivity application, not a stovepipe system
that is limited in its use to those "premium" sales calls or online
demos. The focus on making real-time collaboration more common
is reflected in Convoq's thoughtful embrace of productivity-enhacing
presence and convocation management features, helping either large or
distributed organizations gather the right people at the right time in
online settings.
If you or your organization makes regular use of instant messaging
and web conferencing in a professional (or personal!) context, I'd
encourage you to evaluate Convoq ASAP.
As a board member of Convoq, it's very exciting to see this
innovative communications service launch -- congrats to the entire
Convoq team! I can also say that while the 1.0 product
accomplishes a lot, this team has an incredible vision and roadmap for
where to take online communications and collaboration, so please stay
tuned.

iPod Market Numbers Questioned
iPod Market Numbers Questioned
05/31/2004 06:59 AM
Although Apple's (unofficially) calling hooey on the
numbers, BusinessWeek's Alex Salkever has taken a deeper look at
Apple's claim that the iPod holds "40% to 50% of the market share of
all MP3 players" in the biggest markets. According to Salkever's
numbers, around 17 million flash and hard drive music players were
sold last year, making the 1.5 million iPods sold only 8% to 10% of
the global market. Of course, the caveat is that Apple is only
claiming dominance in the largest markets, the U.S., Japan, and
Western Europe, so an extra 5 million Chinese flash players here or
there doesn't really interfere with their claim. Either way, it's a
good article for iPod fans and detractors alike, and in and of itself
proves what we all knew already: iPod is the music player everyone
talks about.
