LinkBlip ur Yakkle - chat, VoIP, file and screen sharing

The following Yakkle link makes use of LinkBlip. It sends me an email when someone clicks on it. If that is a problem for you then use the full URL link at the bottom. I am thinking that LinkBlip might be a method that I could use to test the effectiveness of the communication of the resources I share with staff at my school.

Yakkle is a tool that allows you to chat, make VoIP calls, send files and receive, and has a built in screen sharing facility. Its free. I wonder how many people we can simultaneously communicate with or is it 1:1. The FAQ states that it integrates with Google Chat and Jabber. This seems to be worth a look.

The rear of the lead dog

Confused of Calcutta has a great post called "Build versus Buy versus Opensource".

His advice-

For common problems use Opensource.
For rare problems use Buy.
For unique problems use Build.

and his closing comment had me in stitches

Maybe this way we can all stop building solutions that look like the rear of a lead dog….
