Re: Cisco plus WebEx: smart or desperate?

Matthew: this move might be consistent with Cisco’s migration to the desktop, but as you mention, the product is a bit iffy. I’ve had the same experiences as you have — “everybody, *please* make sure you log in at least 30 minutes early to figure out how to configure the thing, or I’ll just be giving a speech…” The switching costs are negligent — and I’m not sure there’s much brand loyalty here.

But, unless things have changed dramatically since I last looked, they still had the vast lion’s share of this business in their hands. The product may be a ‘tear down’ to industry insiders, but when people talk about web conferencing, they talk about WebEx, don’t they?

Thank you for the pick up DK! My comment on Mack's post apparently set me off on a pro-corporate-blog rant. It isn't for everyone -- and clearly, most companies firmly believe this because they do such a half-hearted job at it -- but it's a step forward.

I just left a note over at Church of the Customer on a related point -- that companies need to adopt a 'blogging culture' before they can adopt a 'vlogging culture'. Brands communicating with customers via video on their own (or other) sites, on a systematic basis, without overly glossy production value... like living in the future, isn't it?

Thanks again --
