360 Video

The subject matter is a tragedy ... but the use of advanced technology to provide an immersive experience is pretty intriguing.  It's great to see technology used to make the world feel smaller.

Click here to see Haiti 360 video and don't forget to interact with the video.

Technology changes everything.

Some tools for creating replayable demos ...

The big guys:

• Adobe captivate
• Camtasia

The little guys:

• ishowu and ishowuhd 
• Jing 
• Camstudio 
• ScreenJelly

I have only played with screen jelly which i like because it is free.

Personal Contact Management

In response to my personal CRM post, I was encouraged to check out:

www.gist.com
www.xobni.com

I'd characterize these as personal contact management software as opposed to CRM apps.

I used Xobni when I used to use MS Exchange.  It's great.

Lightweight CRM

I recently responded to a post from someone asking for recommendations on a lightweight CRM solution. The following are those that I provided as well as some others that I've learned about since (in no particular order):

• Free CRM

• Zoho

• Javelin
  

• Batchblue

Having only used Salesforce.com for CRM in the past, I don't have first hand experience with any of these but I think they are worth a look.
