Hey @colonelb Say something about Channel 8 - hehe (dbritten live › http://www.ustream.tv/channel...)
@woodsar OR you can set up a GLPS Livestream or UStream TV channel - We could watch @colonelb drink coffee and use Twitter from his office
@colonelb How about running a staff PD day on Skype today :) Sarah's probably going to unfollow me for saying that.
@colonelb BTW - I have an app for that - $100/yr gets you an Adobe Connect licence and you can host 1000+ people in the web conference
@dougsawyer BTW - read the ratings - people say it's a bit intrusive and uploads contacts to 'the mothership'
