I'll shoot the coding pixies at dawn. As for your experience with OMR.. glad you enjoyed it too. It is nice to come across products that are just good quality, well designed and scale well. At this rate I may need to repurpose the blog to be the "Online Meeting Rooms Appreciation Society". ;) James

I sat in on an online meeting in Limerick last week at OpenCoffee where Ken and Bernie Goldback were two of the participants and was very impressed with the quality. Delighted also to have come across your blog Daragh. One tip - you might want to fix the autodiscovery settings for your feed. http://obriend.info/feed/atom isn't working while http://obriend.info/feed/ is. Now subscribed :-) Delighted to see more kudos for Joe and team.

The desktop streaming is something I hope to get a chance to play with... but I'd rather play with things in a context that allows Joe and OMR some scope for kudos and a bit of good PR. London was a good example (hope to have photos of that soon). I definitely think that there is a tipping point here... the problem with video conferencing solutions in the past was that to get acceptable quality you had to pay an unacceptable amount. Bog standard peer2peer services are fine for chatting with your cousin in Sydney but for professional applications you need a 'grown up' solution that works. The fact that the guys in OMR are continually improving the tool (desktop streaming etc.) is another excellent attribute. I think that now that we have that tool at a price point that SMEs can stretch to we may get some traction on remote meetings etc. so people don't have to travel unnecessarily. I'm on the Board of Directors of an international Not-for-Profit (www.iaidq.org) and I'm pushing this as a way to deliver good member services, and I also have the dubious honour of livng in Wexford and working in Dublin.. my life would be a LOT easier if I could do meetings from home...

It gives you additional functionality including the ability to stream your desktop. It really is an amazing application and it's great to see more and more users reaching tipping point.

I've spoken with Joe via OMR twice, having been invited to participate in two discussions around Limerick Open Coffee and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You're absolutely right, it "just works", working exceedingly well to boot with five of the six "rooms" in use from various locations around Ireland (cork, limerick, Kilkenny, two in Dublin). Plus you've got a real nice helpful guy in Joe behind it all as well. The very best of luck to all involved with OnlineMeetingRooms.com as they continue to develop. I’ll have to second that.
