Here we are. Officially in the blogosphere. While we may not be the first to the party, iLinc is very much committed to joining the conversation happening online. So in an effort to communicate more with customers, industry colleagues and anyone else that is out there and interested, I have decided to start a blog. As well, you’ll get to hear from others on the iLinc team within this blog. I’m hoping that by doing so, I will be able to reach and converse with more people than I’ve previously been able to via phone and email, and in a much more efficient way. Everyone these days has busy schedules and mine is no exception. I travel frequently and present at many investor and industry conferences but the number of people I have the opportunity to meet and speak with is extremely limited in the grand scheme of things. One of my main goals is to share iLinc’s story and to get the word out about what’s going on in the industry and specifically about how iLinc helps companies collaborate in a meaningful way online. I believe that the iLinc Web conferencing product outshines most every other solution out there in the market—so sharing stories of just how our solution makes customers’ lives easier and businesses better will be a key part of this blog.
Why blog? There are major benefits to blogging…you can read our blog and communicate feedback and ideas at any time of the day or night no matter what time zone you happen to be in. Let’s face it, there are only so many hours in the day and blogging is an extremely convenient and effective way of communicating and one that I’m hoping will allow us to share valuable information.
As a high-tech company, we are always looking for new ways to leverage technology and improve the overall experience for our customers. We are also always looking for ways to better position ourselves in the Web conferencing industry and this blog allows us to actively work on achieving both of these goals.
In recent years, blogging has become a mainstream communications and marketing vehicle for savvy companies across every industry allowing them to engage directly with customers and prospects. The iLinc blog will serve to provide you with news, education, trends and best practices with regard to our business and the Web conferencing industry in general. It will also provide an interactive way for customers and industry comrades alike to share thoughts and ideas.You’ll meet a number of people on the iLinc team within this forum. As well, we aim to bring guest bloggers into the mix from time to time. I encourage you to comment to this blog when you see something that compels you to contribute. We welcome the dialogue.
Down the road, there will be additional blogs written by specific departments to further focus on specific areas of the industry and company. Although this blog will most likely include some of my thoughts on the future, please understand that these thoughts do not represent forward looking statements. For all insight into our business performance, please refer to our filings at the SEC.
Even though this is my very first official blog, I know that blogs must be short and to the point so I’ll share more thoughts in the next entry. Hope you enjoyed reading this, and stay tuned!
