I’m going to do another Google Reader Rockstar event. This time, it will be a hybrid event. Thos of you who want to attend in person can do so in the Jag, Inc. conference room at 1508 Sunset Avenue in Algoma, WI. Those of you who don’t want to make the trip can attend online via GoToMeeting. We can only accommodate 25 people in all, so be sure to register today!

Don’t attend, however, if you don’t want to learn about a competitive advantage that will fundamentally shift the way you look at information and make you smarter than your competition…

Citrix ‘jumps the shark’ with new pricing model

WebEx Communications

OK, I’m officially pissed. I’ve been a massive Citrix advocate influencing dozens, if not hundreds, for over 5 years since GoToMeeting first came on the scene and I discovered I could deliver high-quality online meetings for a year for the price of one month of WebEx…

Recently, I evaluated GoToTraining and was getting ready to utilize it for my new ‘Social Media Academy’ training program. I was stunned when I saw Citrix’s new pricing model…

GoToWebinar used to seat 1000 people for the flat rate of $99 per month. Now the price is $499. WTH? In a down economy, Citrix is sticking it to their customers with a 500% increase. If you want to train 200 people in GoToTraining it will set you back $349. Only GoToMeeting has held the line on pricing at $49 [although I know a secret that will get you a $39 monthly rate — you’ll have to get me offline for that one!]…

Citrix, it’s bad enough that your reseller program sucks, but this is an over the top stoopid move — you’re no longer on my recommended list of products [Wall Street take note!]…

Online Meetings…

With the price of gas as it is, and time always being at a premium, the idea of online meetings is gaining in popularity…

I found this comparison of online meeting tools interesting.” Source: WebWorkerDaily » Archive Online Meeting App Study: GoToMeeting Tops Yugma? «

Personally, I find online meetings both effective and inexpensive. I use and recommend GoToMeeting — I’ll be happy to demo it for you if you contact me…
