I just posted this on my blog at <a href="http://www.ilearnium.com/content/view/3123/118/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ilearnium.com/content/view/3123/118/</a> I was more impressed with the WebEx numbers than the Activity Map though... 2,000,000 Registered Users 27,000 Customers 50,000 Meetings a day My real question is whether or not those meetings are individual user sessions or actual meeting with multiple users at each meeting. Regardless, those numbers are substantial. I expect that this service from Quova is an enterprise level service and not geared to the average blogger eh?

I was more impressed with the WebEx numbers than the Activity Map though…

2,000,000 Registered Users

27,000 Customers

50,000 Meetings a day

My real question is whether or not those meetings are individual user sessions or actual meeting with multiple users at each meeting. Regardless, those numbers are substantial.

I expect that this service from Quova is an enterprise level service and not geared to the average blogger eh?

Cheers – Craig

Quova has had real time geolocation tech since 1999 and has hundreds of clients doing really interesting stuff with both in and the data. I thought it was a fun real time thing with WebEx, especially since when I was an investor in Raindance (a WebEx competitor), I always thought it would be neat to map all the conference nodes in real time. The real time and dynamic mapping - with a high degree of accuracy - is actually non-trivial to do. And - I doubt you care about WebEx any more based on this - my guess is they are just promoting it as (a) a clever thing and (b) demonstration of the reach / range of people using their service at any given time.

The Weather Channel was delivering location specific content and advertising 8 years ago using this sort of technology. Am I any more inclined to feel part of a webex community just by seeing that other people around the world are using their services? lol, is it still cool if it’s been available as a myspace widget for some time?
