The No-Fail Way to Make Me Roll My Eyes

5 Aug

1. When you have someone who is a sales person that says the same thing over and over.

2. The telephone solicitor that for some reason can’t understand the word “NO”.

3. The waiter that is terrible during the whole performance and then says “thank you so much and I hope you have a “really” nice evening” – as they hand you the bill with those soft moving hands !

Private Chamber Video Storage – ScreenCast by Techsmith is Great

30 Jul

This is my second review of a product created by TechSmith in one week and I don’t even earn a commission :-(

TechSmith makes great software and provides excellent hosting services for video as well through www.ScreenCast.com.  Although I highly suggest using YouTube for hosting Chamber of Commerce videos because if setup properly, they will be indexed by search engines and advertise your Chamber.  However, in cases where you would like to control video access or maintain privacy then ScreenCast works really well.

At Chamber Nation many of our training videos are stored here and have nothing but praise for their service.

No Jacket Required! Great Phone for Chamber Member Demos on the Run Too.

29 Jul


“At Motorola, we believe a customer shouldn’t have to dress up their phone for it to work properly. That’s why the DROID X comes with a dual antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like to make crystal clear calls without a bulky phone jacket. For us it’s just one of those things that comes as a given when you’ve been making mobile phones for over 30 years.”
