MightyMeeting

Two things I love in a software and/or hardware product; easy and wow. Mightymeeting has both. I have shown this around the office and in every case they were pumped. Many of my sales team members have now started using Mightymeeting. With this much excitement I just had to write about it!

Easy
Arriving at Mightymeeting.com you’re presented with a wonderfully simple main screen. While there looks like only two things to do, “Sign Up Now” or “Join a Meeting”, there is actually a third item you should be aware of. I actually missed it the first time. I needed to install the touchscreen (iPad, iPhone, Android) application.

The links are in the lower left hand side of the main screen. I personally just went to the Android Market on my EVO, did a quick search, and downloaded it OTA (over the air). Maybe a QR code would make this easier? Hint, Hint. Overall, however, this is a pretty simple install and registration process.

As one of the 4 million plus that recently received a Kindle Fire for the holidays a new tablet love affair has transpired. It doesn’t have a camera and bluetooth but I don’t need either. My EVO 4G works just fine there. Its 7” size is perfect to carry around for all my personal and business duties. The later being a huge unexpected surprise.

As I started searching for various Kindle Fire apps in Amazon’s app store I quickly found that not all the choices I had become accustomed to were available. Even those that I did find were not ready for prime time on the Fire or any tablet for that matter. Maybe Google Apps Marketplace? While you can view apps in the Google/Android Marketplace from a Kindle you can’t install them from there. Hmmmm…

Was the Kindle Fire “ready to rumble” for business and sales use afterall? The hunt was on.

Kindle Fire Business and Sales Apps Options

So what are the options… if any?

Option 1: Of course I could always “root” my Fire and access Google’s Marketplace but that wasn’t my goal. Also, this process is not for the weak of heart and I wanted to drink the Amazon services device “koolaid”. What could I do with this $199.00 tablet using the services and apps offered by Amazon for sales and business?
