If you haven’t heard of UStream yet, you will soon. The site combines video broadcasting, along with a social feed from sites like Twitter and Facebook, to create an immediate and free way to interact with any audience via a live video stream. Think of UStream as an interactive platform that lets anyone with a camera (or an iPhone) and Internet connection broadcast to the world.
Cisco is currently using UStream for the Talk2Cisco chats. And, we’re also planning to use it to host chats for Cisco channel partners, the first of which will happen on April 6 at 1:30-2 p.m. PST. Log in to join Andrew Sage, VP of WW Small Business Sales and Lief Koepsel, Director of Services Marketing, for a discussion on Building a Profitable Small Business Practice.

You’ve finished filming your video, so now what? If you’re like me, you’ve got a load of video bloopers to edit out and footage that you don’t necessarily want the public to see.
The next step is to actually take all of that raw footage and turn it into something your audience will actually want to watch. That’s where video editing software comes into the picture…
The concept of a truly Borderless Network that allows you to securely connect to anyone, anywhere, at anytime has been just that: a concept. That is, until today’s news that brings along a host of Borderless Networks solutions to make this idea a reality.
These new network services, solutions, and programs being introduced today bring the flexibility and security to help your customers truly think — and work — outside the box and outside the walls of their offices. Not only that, but it gives you as a partner the ability to customize creative solutions for your customers.
