Open That Circle Wide!

Forget driving across town to make it to a conference, or trying to find a local hotel to host your conference or seminar. Instead of going to all that trouble, why not OpenACircle?

OpenACircle lets you work in conferences with others without leaving your desk or office. You can share ideas, consult and communicate with your peers in one simple program that includes interactive video conferences, desktop share, file sharing and storage, even instant messaging and calendaring, all in one. OpenACircle is heads and shoulders above other sites that only let you do one of those things.

Got a big meeting? Open A Circle, and you can be at that meeting, with everyone else, talking through video and messaging others, while you all look at the same documents. Need to schedule a follow-up? You've got calendars right there for everyone to use... and you're sitting in your own office, so there's no lost productivity, no downtime stuck in traffic, no losing files on the subway.

OpenACircle works for family get-togethers, too: if you can't visit right now, you can get everyone together virtually to plan for family events like reunions or the holidays. Have your son -- that layabout!-- on from Florida, while you and your daughter come up with the recipes and IM lists of gifts to pick up.

I've already joined up with this program -- it's invaluable for a guy like me, a guy who has to meet with other lawyers and clients but who doesn't want to spend all his time driving around, or making clients drive in to meet me. You look me up there and set up a meeting today, like, say, if you need a lawyer's advice on how to spend that lottery money you just won. (My advice: spend it on lawyer's fees, plus a tip.)

Signing up was easy, too -- no fees, no contracts, no nothing except access to a great program. (There is a premium program with additional features in case you're a really advanced user, but I'm still a beginner at this.) Once you're signed up, you can create a profile, invite others to join your circle, calendar events... it's a great program and easy to use, so go OpenACircle today.
