In December, Lake Superior State University published its List of Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness. One of these words is Webinar. I couldn’t disagree more. Webinars use desktop sharing software, a perfect storm of technologies that help small business owners decimate waste. In short, the software lets a user show the information on his or her computer simultaneously with others around the world.
Back in the day, face-to-face meetings had to be held. It was like waterboarding. Now, it’s possible to meet without leaving your office. Desktop-sharing technology, authored by companies including Microsoft, Cisco (CSCO), Glance, and CrossLoop, gives back productivity to the business owner.
