    Ipadventures blog: 'WebDialogs and Unyte'

    10 Oct 2006— Ken Camp says:
    "unyte looks like an interesting approach to voice and video collaboration, and a desktop/application sharing tool that creates a new and simple approach to starting up sessions. If you've ever run a "Live Meeting", you were probably faced with more options and features than you knew what to do with. And Cisco's Meeting place can take more effort to set up and run than time spent actually in collaboartion. These tools work well for the connoisseur of web meetings, and not especially user-friendly. unyte offers friendly tools that work with the progams many of us already use on a daily basis."
