Re: Looking for reliable and economical audio for webconference-based training

Tim,

Two semi-related data points...

My partner Wendy has been pleasantly surprised with how well Skype works =
for her personal consulting business.  Given that her work relies =
heavily on non-verbal communication, she was impressed with how well it =
worked.

Another colleague, Rod, had a difference experience, though.  He claimed =
that the "vanilla" videoconference services were merely OK for his =
remote pair-wise work with another colleague out of state.  Once they =
both invested in better cameras, with better optical and compression =
quality, and in a separate service, he claims that the quality of their =
work relationship was as good as being in the same room.  He points to =
the subtlty of facial expression that our animal body can sense but that =
our frontal lobes are not suited to describe.

One way to connect these data points is to say "to each her own".  =
Another way would be that Rod, the technophile, had greater discernment, =
and therefore expectation, for a high definition experience, whereas =
Wendy, the person-ophile, had her expectations exceeded.

Hope the stories help...

Michael
