DEMO Says
There are always a couple of demonstrators that elicit a plain old gasp of "Cool!" and Ontier's Pixetell is one of them. The first mixed-media platform for fast, interactive communication online, Pixetell is like a little WebEx in your inbox - without the crashes. If you need to communicate something visual and complex in five minutes, drag and drop any type of content into a Pixetell, record voiceover and send it off. No scheduling, no access codes, no dial-in numbers, no network lag-time. Just rapid, effective communication that couldn't be easier to use. Cool.
