Co-Browse Any Web Page Instantly with Surfly

Robin Good calls this "The best, easiest and most convenient tool to co-browse and collaborate over any web page at a distance. It works instantly. Nothing to do  to make it work. Simplicity and immediacy win over features."

A new app that lets you surf the net collaboratively.

This looks like another great collaboration tool for my students; certainly deserves a closer look.

If you need to review and compare alternative web conferencing and online collaboration tools you should give a look to Online Meeting Tools Review, a web service providing basic information for 35 different tools.


I have already recommended this service in May 2012, but the service has been significantly improved and updated.

For each service included you get a review, a direct link to its home page and free trial offering, and an overall rating score.


With the Basic Comparison Tool you can review up to four different conferencing services side-by-side for no additional fee: https://webconferencing-test.com/en/compare-tools-basic


With the Pro version of the same Comparison Tool you can get up to 12 different tools compared into a report that is sent straight to your email without any cost. The only requirement is that you accept the option of being later contacted by one of the companies you have requested to be compared.


Free to use.

Beyond Task Lists, Project Gantt Charts and Mindmaps: Organize Your Information Tasks with mySimpleSurface

Beyond Task Lists, Project Gantt Charts and Mindmaps: Organize Your Information Tasks with mySimpleSurface | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

Mysimplesurface is a new kind of visualization and information-organization tool that sits between a mindmap, a project management and a task-list tool.

 

From the site: "My simple surface is fast and designed to manage lots of things in a semi-structured environment."

 

"...My simple surface is like a big white board for quickly and easily organising lots of things. When there's too much going on, you need space. You need a surface to put things on. Move things around. Step back. Organise, and re-organise."

 

Sets of information nodes can be organized into "surfaces", which are logical group of items connected together.

 

"Capture points quickly onto a surface. Organise, and re-organise later.

 

Create as many surfaces as you need and link them together. Manage large projects with inter-related surfaces. Organise them in the way that makes sense to you."

 

Surfaces can be shared with selected team members by inviting them via email through the dedicated Share function.

 

See an introductory video: http://www.mysimplesurface.com/intro

I greatly appreciate these posts, Robin. I'm trying to find the best platform to have a series of online presentation/conversations and feel rather overwhelmed. I need the ability to present material, have live interaction in various forms (video, phone and text/chat), and record the sessions. Free or low cost, as well. I've assumed Google Hangouts would be the best choice but I greatly appreciate the other options you're presenting.

Glad to be of help Dena.
