The ability to load and share high resolution work with incredible detail and clarity with others without having to wait a long time was addressed by Colaab with DeepZoom, <br />a Silverlight technology that allows for images to be downloaded and viewed instantly, whether its 5kb or 50 mb. This means that whether you're uploading an image, viewing it on your monitor, or sharing it with a colleague, the waiting time will be next to zero - with no loss of quality or resolution.<br /><br />Colaab is the only collaboration tool on the market that utilizes this technology to bring you such unprecedented short loading times when dealing with large image files. <br /><br />Some examples are available on their web site. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this!Shelly Goulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185188758536845729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238870936566985908.post-27177705868701725492011-03-20T22:50:04.094-04:002011-03-20T22:50:04.094-04:00I really liked this product too.

I think that for a visual learner this is also beneficial. Great job finding a product that was not traditional.<br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284358427155260937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238870936566985908.post-37687471476714246762011-03-19T19:58:58.901-04:002011-03-19T19:58:58.901-04:00I was very impressed with the Colaab product and c...I was very impressed with the Colaab product and can see where this tool would be extremely valuable when high resolution images need to be accessed.<br /><br />According to the FAQ page on Colaab's website, "the Discussion Hub is a built in instant messenger. Each Workspace has a Discussion Hub unique to it, and all users of that Workspace can contribute to the discussion. If the user you wish to talk to is online, simply type away in the message box, click send, and then wait for a reply in the same place." Unless I completely missed something, the only way to communicate with others is through the Discussion Hub (other than the Add Comment capability).<br /><br />According to your post, you can set up a video conference from one of the tabs on the right side of the dashboard, but I could find no reference to initiating a video conference and collaborating on a resource simultaneously.<br /><br />If voice or video capability is not built in to the application, then I would like to see these features added to the software. It certainly would be a lot easier to discuss my thoughts and ideas on a subject by voice rather than typing in to the Discussion Hub. I realize you might lose some tracking but they could always enable a recording option for voice communication.<br /><br />CiaoDon Howsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238870936566985908.post-20610866281054377202011-03-19T16:53:37.566-04:002011-03-19T16:53:37.566-04:00Colaab seems like a great product for a visual col...Colaab seems like a great product for a visual collaborative learning network. It is still quite new I think that once the word gets around about this amazing product it will change many businesses and create many new ways of communications. I am a visual learner and be able to see what is being created on top of discussing it would help me a lot and many others that are visual learners. This will allow a lot more people to be able to work remotely by being able to see their project be created and the parts that still need to be constructed or final approvals.Jasmine Lesternoreply@blogger.com
