Just tried the mac app, and it seems like exactly what we have been looking for. With a small team spread across multiple floors, the ability to quickly hit someone up is important. Can't wait for Android and/or Windows versions, so everybody can be onboard.
Working remotely sometimes means I go days without talking to anyone! I miss the pleasantries around the office, like "how was your weekend", and being able to just walk over to my colleague's desk to discuss something quickly. These critical parts that make up workplace culture are things that email and chat don't fully address. Those were the dark days before there was Switchboard!!
Love this thing! Use it all day to communicate with coworkers in remote offices, and also on walks with my wife - we can both listen to music and talk to each other seamlessly and without taking our damn earbuds out.
I think it has potential to change the communication paradigm to enable us to talk to each other as if we are in the same room anytime
Love this app! Gives me telecom capabilities of WebEx with the instant messaging of Lync -- all without the hassle of managing a gazillion groups
Been using the app for a few weeks now and I'm loving how easy it is to connect for real-time chats whenever and wherever I am throughout the day.
I've used it for personal & professional. The results were always the same: Clear as a bell & easy to use. Great grandma could use it. I have a Cisco IP phone at home, and it sounds as clear as that device (it's easier & much faster to use though)
