Video is a fast, effective and efficient method of communication. The problem up to now has been getting people to watch those expensive DVDs - even if they request them. And video streaming has been wreathed in technical mystery and silly prices.

With VYOO Publisher you produce your video as normal and upload to VYOO. Assign it to a playlist or have it streaming on its own; add searcheable tags and descriptions; then copy and paste the HTML to the web page of your  choice and send out an e-mail blast that there is something to view here. Finally track your views by hour, day, month, URL and title with the only statistics tool to be updated every ten seconds.

Private webTV functions are provided by VYOO Exchange. This eliminates dubbs, couriers and confused feedback during production, saving both money and time. An application mainly for producers of video rather than owners, this useful tool gives you control of edit stages, multiple elements, versions and languages and more.

Each part of VYOO costs a very reasonable £50/month plus streaming seconds used. For more information, current clients or to find out why their fully featured application costs about a tenth of the competition, telephone Sloan Hickman on 0870 443 5417 or e-mail sloan@jordanuk.co.uk

Alternatively go to Vyoo.eu and have a look around! There’s an instant sign up facility and a money back guarantee, so you can even try it out.

eOffice scooped last year’s BCO Innovation Award and a new Birmingham centre has now been judged the best small project in the Midlands and East Anglia.

Technology has dramatically changed the way business is done in the 21st century and that drama is playing out in new office design. Serviced business centres are becoming a serious alternative to conventional space and eOffice has pushed the boundaries even further, adopting a concept more akin to hotels.

Pier Paolo Mucelli explains:

“eOffice, the third work space is a provider of flexible office solutions meeting and conference facilities. Primarily for start-ups, entrepreneurs, freelancers, new businesses. We also have a lot of blue chip companies using our business facilities. We are a dynamic company, fast growing. We currently have four business centres in the U K. We started from the fashionable part of London, Soho, we then expanded to Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol. We have plans to expand the concept internationally.

I think the office environment is a critical part of any budding businesses. You can of course work from home. I mean Microsoft started from a garage, if you remember well, and the office has become a place, where to meet, you meet your suppliers, you meet your team members of course, and you work with your team members and you create a structure and of course you meet your clients. So it is fundamental to have a design which is first of all very well located. Our location of the office is prime location, is very easily accessible, by car, by taxi, by bus, by tube, by train. Beautiful buildings, great interior design and great visibility.”

I’m delighted to share with you the launch of the first ever real world conferencing service enhanced and complimented by a virtual world arm. The system allows businesses to reach new audiences from both real and virtual world sources, providing a solution to global SME collaboration and interoperability. eOffice will be the first company worldwide to offer facilities of this nature to their clients, a move in touch with their forward thinking mentality.

The system consolidates real and virtual world resources in a way which not only enhances the reality of both, but creates a more engaging experience for participants. They can share video, stream webcam, audio, VOIP, images, URLs and collaborate on Documents, synchronised in real-time within an attractive virtual environment. It makes the powerful multimedia and communications potential of virtual worlds far more accessible to the masses, over a combination of platforms.

The building was designed for - and partly by - the 300 engineers who will work there. The alternative office is both a showcase for Google’s unconventional approach to business and a symbol to prove that Google is no longer a US-centric firm.

Engineers work in small teams of three or four, which is reflected at the Zurich HQ with small offices, each of which comes with the requisite “bean bag” meeting room.

Whiteboards are everywhere, allowing ideas to be written down wherever they are thought up and there is a heavy emphasis on the idea that work and play can co-exist.

Other areas include a games room, a library in the style of an English country house and an aquarium where over-worked Googlers can lie in a bath full of red foam and stare at fish.
