![]() And not just audio recording, but every stroke on the interactive whiteboard, every screenshare, every instant message, every video feed. And the whole thing is being recorded for reference later. Schools use Connect to turn the wall of laptops in many lecture halls into engagement tools and it's mighty hard to fiddle with your BlackBerry in a meeting when you're expected to be providing feedback, contributing to a whiteboard session, sharing resources, and adding notes. ![]() ![]() The most important thing to know about Connect 8 is that it can enhance virtually any meeting, whether in person or remote, and record a meeting like no other tool (not even an awesome secretary). I'm going to tell you about Connect 8, how it's cooler than version 7.5, why it's one of the cooler products I've ever used, and why it's better than anything else out there. It's simply so good at what it does, that it's a natural solution for businesses of all sizes, schools, and anyone else that needs to take their conferencing or webinar solutions to a whole new level. Adobe is crushing any sort of open source credibility I might have left and Connect is no different. I like to call myself an open source advocate, but every time I review some piece of Adobe software, whether it's Flash Catalyst, Acrobat X, Photoshop, or just about any other content creation tool, I can't help but recommend it because there just isn't anything else on the market that can match it. And Adobe makes expensive software that it pains me to recommend. I've gotten in the habit of really liking every Adobe product I touch. When Adobe approached me last month about the launch of Connect 8 (announced today), I was tempted to pass on a review. ![]() While there will always be times that a face-to-face meeting is necessary, no matter what sort of travel it requires, I'm completely convinced that Adobe Connect 8, the latest version of their online meeting and collaboration software, can actually beat the average business meeting in terms of usefulness, engagement, and simplicity. But I'd certainly rather not spend the money, generate the carbon, charge a client, waste the travel time, or, most importantly, spend the night away from my family. I don't mind flying or hustling to make a connection and hotels are all well and good.
