Hello,
last year, after having a look at TeamSpeak and Mumble, we decided to
have a look at Google Hangouts.
I just had a short try with a friend, and, well, it was not that
impressive, it didn't work as expected - but it might have been a local
problem.
While it is no secret that I'm a big fan of the traditional telephone,
shall we try out Google Hangout for one of the following meetings, may
it be the marketing meeting or the BoD meeting, just to see if it works?
I'm not saying we will use this in the future exclusively, but we can
give it a try at least, and maybe use it for special meetings. We can
also provide a fallback dial-in at our known numbers, of course.
This requires everyone to have a Google account (IMHO even Google+), and
to install a plugin in their browser, and of course a fast internet
connection.
I have no clue if we can create a gateway between Google+ and the PTSN
(classic phone network). For Skype, it's quite expensive, they charge
about $7 per line (!).
What do you think?
Florian
