HyperOffice releases HyperMeeting – new conferencing technology
August 27, 2008 By 5 Comments
Once again HyperOffice has proven that they can reclaim their status as a pioneer and a leader. We’ve talked about some of their breakthroughs previously – but their new conferencing technology – HyperMeeting – fills a real gap in the web conferencing marketplace.
Here are the the biggest breakthroughs from HyperMeeting in our opinion…
There are a lot of incredibly useful features that none of the confercing solutions we’ve used offer, but the core gap that HyperMeeting has filled is the ability to share applications, documents or even your entire desktop with meeting participants in real time.
Also incredibly useful is the ability to transfer files to all of the participants. How many times have you needed to discuss a document in a meeting and had to email the document to everyone and then wait for them to retrieve it to get the meeting started? HyperMeeting makes those days obsolete.
Are you doing business globally? Then you know that the entire world is not on broadband. In fact there it was not until July of 2008 that Broadband penetration in Australia exceeded the number of dialup users there. In other words this is not an issue that only affects developing nations.
So how does HyperMeeting solve this problem? Caching is fine and they do that, but they go behind the basic caching of other services and display fixed dimension slides when slow connections are detected.
The other thing HyperMeeting offers that is quite unique is “control-passing” which allows participants to take control of presenting which allows everyone to participate. Another gap they’ve filled in the traditional conferencing marketplace.
For those of you who have used systems that require a software download, you’ll be happy to know that HyperMeeting has eliminated that step which can sometimes be a hurdle for meeting participants.

Hilarious Aweber support conversation
August 26, 2008 By 5 Comments
I love Aweber. It’s one of the best products I use in my business, but sometimes support conversations border on the absurd. Luckily, Aweber is such a high-quality product that most people will rarely need support at all.
A friend of mine who’s not had much luck with Aweber support sent me the following support conversation he just had. It had me laughing so hard I was literally in tears…
Customer: Hi, can you direct me to instructions for importing a suppression list?
You are now speaking with Aweber of Customer Solutions (CP).
Aweber: Hi Customer
Aweber: http://www.aweber.com/faq/questions/498 [users' note: this is NOT the correct link]
Aweber: you do not want to do this
Customer: I don’t?
Customer: what?
Aweber: why would you want to import a list of unsubscribes?
Customer: I have a list of customers hosted at 1shoppingcart. I can email them from there.
Customer: my leads are hosted with you
Customer: I want to email everybody (using both services), but I don’t want people to get duplicate emails
Aweber: Explain to me exactly what you want to do
Aweber: the list of leads you want to import….who are they are where are they coming from?
Customer: hmm, I’m not sure how to put this more clearly….
Customer: I want to import a list of my BUYERS’ email addresses…
Customer: they are hosted at 1hshoppingcart.com, and I can mail them from that service.
Customer: But some of them will also be on my AWEBER prospect list
Customer: I want to email everyone, but not have duplicate emails
Customer: so I thought if I 1) Got a list of my buyers from 1shoppingcart and
Customer: 2) used that as a surpression list so they would NOT be emailed IF they were on the AWEBER list…
Customer: then I could email both lists with no duplication
Aweber: if you create two different lists, within your AWeber control panel, one could be “purchasers” and one could be “prospects” for instance…..
Aweber: you could import these lists of leads into their respective list in AWeber, and send out your messages to include both lists
Aweber: our system will automatically remove the duplicates
Aweber: (people who appear on both lists will not receive more than one email from you)
Customer: that would be great, except that everyone I import would have to confirm their subscription again, and probably would be too busy/confused to do so
Aweber: any leads that you import into AWeber, have to verify
Customer: exactly
Aweber: because although they already bought something from you in the past, this doesn’t mean that they want to continue to receive emails from you
Aweber: so, for this reason, we would send them the verification message to make sure they want to continue to receive more info from you
