TimZon: Effective Team Discussions In A Global And Virtual World

15. Jun, 2009 0 Comments

In episode 20 of The Project Shrink Podcast I am talking to Jerome Breche and Jerome Mouton from TimZon. TimZon is a new tool for asynchronous video discussions.

Skype and other video conferencing solutions are great for the little time per day when the team members are available. But with teams for instance in India and the US, this overlapping time period is often limited at best to a couple hours per day. Email and written forms of communication are fine for handling the offline communication, but it is lacking the human touch of audio/video communication, not conveying emotions.

TimZon aims to solve this problem.

    Bas,

    Thank you very much for the Project Shrink Video PodCast about TimZon.

    This was a first for us (as you viewers will probably notice :-) ). But we are glad you did in video, we have no doubt that this is the best way to convey who we are and what TimZon is about without meeting face-to-face.

    We would like to invite your readers and viewers to try it out and let us know what features they would like us to add in order to make TimZon a better solution for them.

    Thank you,
    Jerome – timzon.com

    Bas,

    great presentation and a tool that could be very helpful. I’ve forwarded the link to four friends who work in different companies but all share the same globalization problems the Jeromes’ mention.

    Hopefully there will be beneficial results for both sides.

    All my best,

    Andy

    Hi Jerome, you’re welcome, and thanks you too. How else can we review a video collaboration site? ;)

    Good luck with your endeavor!

    Andy, thanks! I know your friends will appreciate. I’m testing it myself and it’s great fun and useful.

    This looks like a cool tool, but is it record only? Does it not get trounced by Google Video?

    @Diwant: just give it a spin. you’ll get a feel for it. I mean yes if google video integrated this concept with its offering, but at this moment it isn’t near the same.

    Oops, I meant Google Talk. I’ll take a second look though.
