Acrobat Connect Pro Freebie: Easy to remember URL with meetnow.in

Personal meeting rooms with Acrobat Connect Pro are one of the most highly appreciated features amongst our user community.  You can set-up a room, and use it again and again (a virtual office), without having to set-up a new URL each time like other solutions require.  The only complaint I sometimes hear from the community is that they have a very long URL to remember and communicate over phone, email, IM, etc…

To solve for that, we’re introducing a completely free service for Acrobat Connect Pro users.  Piggybacking off of the “url-shortening” services used extensively through Twitter and other social sites, we’ve setup a similar system at:  http://meetnow.in/connect/create.php

Using the service couldn’t be simpler:

  1. Go to:  http://meetnow.in/connect/create.php
  2. Enter in the URL of your personal meeting room
  3. Add a “path” to your new URL
  4. Click the magic button, and you’ll be presented with your new URL to copy/paste into email signatures, speak over the phone, etc…

The service works for any Connect Pro meeting URL (hosted by ConnectSolutions, Adobe, or on-premise), and is completely free.  We hope you enjoy, and if you like it, leave us a note in the comments below.

ConnectSolutions Podium (free) for Do-Gooders

September 21, 2009 by Michael Fitzpatrick

Helping Community

ConnectSolutions has been fortunate.  We work with a fantastic variety of people that we’ve been able to get to know personally over the past two+ years.  The close work we do with our customers allows us to learn about the impact our services have on their lives, both at work and at home, and this serves as a great motivator to continue to innovate and deliver great experiences.

This year, our team introduced ConnectSolutions Podium, which is quickly becoming the most exciting web casting and virtual events platform available.  This on-line service is the result of a lot of hard work by the team, and now I’m excited to announce a new program available immediately for the “do-gooders” out there who are trying to make a difference in their communities, organizations, etc.

Inspired by our good friend Peldi over at Balsamiq, we are introducing a program to provide “do-gooder” non-profits with the opportunity to use ConnectSolutions Podium, absolutely free, to communicate and reach a much larger audience than they could ever have before.  Have a new program you want to announce to the community?  Want to reach geographically disperse members of your organization without travel or other costs?  We would be honored to support your efforts.

To get started, please let us know you are interested by going here, and we’ll follow-up as soon as possible.  We hope to keep this program going for some time, but in the short-term, we’re really excited to see what you’ll be able to accomplish!
