Yes, it is awesome. My partner and I communicate with Skype on a daily basis to discuss our project designs and to coordinate a number of business activities. About once every two weeks we meet with our client(s) to hammer out details. It has worked very well in our case.

Concept reviews work pretty well over GoToMeeting or Webex. It's pretty useful to be able to point at stuff.

It was interesting to see Edward Snowden "at" the Vancouver TED Conference. Telepresence is coming along.

Uh-huh, and then you run out hanging advert flyers on doorknobs...

It's often the only way to go. I am on GoToMeeting at least twice a week, sometimes almost ever day.

We've done more than just coaching through a new instrument. For example, doing a hairy switcher layout together with a guy 1500 miles away. It would have taken me all day long flying out there and by the time I'd have passed the TSA checkpoint we were ... done. Passing the desktop control back and forth is a wonderful thing.

Only thing is, now I have to dress up even for some virtual meetings because the people can see you. So in summer I always have a "shirt-on-duty" hanging in the cabinet where the coax cables and stuff are.

I just wish their Codecs weren't so much of a power-hog. The GoTo one seems very bloated, it croaks on

Au contraire, for me. Our start-up company would not work at all without "telecommunting". We are all between 100mi and 3000mi apart. 99% plus of our teamwork happens online.

Well, not me and my partner personally. We have sales and marking people who do that. Is that what you do? We could use someone who knows how.

I am 15 minutes walking from John, perhaps i can do part time after tax season. But last year, i made more money in stock than working. I have to watch lots of TV to follow the market, but life is tough.

Can you imagine an old hate-filled sour-puss like Bloggs in a Marketing job? If people threaten LDS missionaries, can you imagine what they'd do to Bloggs?

You have a large team in your start-up company? Neat!

I know a lot of people who did the same in the late '90s. A few lost their life's savings (one power company lineman, >megabuck) by '01.

On most online calls a number of external engineers get involved. Yes, then it's a large team.

I don't want to drum up more gutter cleaning and trash disposal business than you can handle...

Yes, it doesn't happen every year. But 2013 was good for me with 2 stocks.

I doubt that you could, considering your personality, but even so, we have connections to other companies that could handle the increased business should you get lucky. It sounds as if you are interested in joining our team. You, like the other minions we employ, will need to pass a background check, of course.

Well, the offer is to join our flyer handout team (sales and marketing). He sounds interested.

All we know for sure, to judge from the content of your posts to SED, is, whatever you're doing, it's simple minded and pedestrian.

Having 100 engineers together in one technical meeting where all can contribute would be very foolish. I would not want to work in a company that regularly does that.
