Video Conferencing with OoVoo

Last week I had a chance to talk to Philippe Schwartz, the CEO of OoVoo.com at the DigtialLife 2008 conference held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York city. OoVoo is determined to do for video conferencing what Skype has done for voice over internet protocol (VOIP). OoVoo makes it very easy for anyone with a webcam to set up a video conference with up to six participants with any desktop computer and a high speed Internet connection. Using a familiar buddy list you can quickly start a video conferencing session with very high quality video and audio. Phillipe showed me a resource indicator when six participants were on line and it barely made a dent in the terms of the computer processes and resources. The quality of the video and the audio was exceptional. OoVoo service is entirely free and you can download a Windows version of the program from the company's website. OoVoo will be releasing a Macintosh and Linux version of the application as well- making the program truly cross-platform. If you are interested in using video conferencing in your business or classroom then please take a look at this incredible service. To see the program in action you can take a look at this link showing how Arianna Huffington recently used OoVoo to interview House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers.

IT Marketing: The Right Lead Generator

Lead generation is an important part of running a successful IT marketing campaign and can actually make or break the future of your company.

To whom should you delegate this important IT marketing task? It really should not go to anyone except you, a spouse or a very trusted business partner. Your clients are buying a service, your personality, your reputation and word of mouth. When they are buying “you,” you need to make sure they understand what they are getting.

IT Marketing and Your Responsibility

You can’t make your personal service into a commodity, so you should only delegate when absolutely necessary. Make the contacts in the community and get the word out about your available solutions with your IT marketing plan and take no shortcuts. If you need to delegate, technical aspects of handling accounts is probably the only task you should relinquish.

Virtual IT Marketing and a Single Point of Contact

When you are a “virtual IT” professional, you should be the single point of contact. People need to get to know you, because you are the owner, the personality and the whole thing. Sell “You, Inc.” as consulting services, network support services, or however you plan to market it. Let people get to know you personally as part of your IT marketing plan.
