Now that you have figured out this is a waste of time, do yourself a favor and stop listening. As to who’s left, thanks for putting up with the challenge of getting these folks together. I make no apologies for the quality, as it represents the best efforts to get this conversation to you.

Everyone agrees….. end of call.”

I gave up listening after the first 5 minutes. What a train wreck. The thing, is, I think that there would have been a lot of good points worth listening to from this group but not worth the pain of going through it. It was like the Vista of teleconferencing.

I listened this morning, and the technological challenges are ridiculous. They are the same on Newsgang. We ought to learn to use these technologies ourselves before we make others suffer through us.
As for Comcast/Plaxo, I hate them both and they deserve each other. That being said, if you are bringing bundles of services into the home, I suppose adding the intrusive Pulse to them makes sense.

Why do you need to over analyze this move by Comcast and Plaxo? I think its pure wastage of time.

Great idea. But, christ all the background noise made it challenging.

Content, schmotent. 37 frigging gesture-filled minutes of “conversation.”

I gave up after 3 minutes, 28 seconds.

And not because of the static.

I agree with Chris, how long have they been having these conversations?

How about some investment in some technology and process so we can focus on the content.

Wow, you guys really need to get a new conferencing system, stop wasting time figuring out who is there, and get rid of the static.
