president echeverri wishes to clarify his previous statement

(please note that i changed the subject in my previous entry after i caught myself humming the aftermentioned song)

What does Visible Path do?  It's basically social networking for companies.  I'd go into it more, but i'm not sure what i may say at the moment.  However, it goes beyond any social networking tool i've seen (and that's not saying much, since i have little personal use for such beasts).

And, yes, when i first encountered "Webinar" some months ago, i too was seized by a fit of seething ire.  Someone, somewhere, coined that term, and They. Must. Pay.

I first encountered webinar in 2002 when the founder of my company used it in marketing materials to advertize the upcoming, *gulp*, webinar. *shudder* (I feel so dirty.)

I asked about the word, high on my success at picking on him earlier for trying to get me to use the word, bespoke, in technical documentation for an American audience. He kept it, telling me it wasn't his idea, that he'd first heard the word circa 1999 from that company that used Ru Paul to advertize browser-based corporate web meeting tools.

So very, very dirty. Dirtier than when discussing a WoW LARP. But not much.

Gnah. That would be filthy, stinking WebEx. Oh how i hate their product. Macr^H^H^H^HAdobe (FUCK ADOBE) Breeze is vastly superior.

I encountered 'webinar' in 2000 or 2001. Definitely by 2001, when I was attending presentations from webinar platform vendors. It's heinous, but I suppose it's what you do once you're moving your vlog from hobby to business.
