Last month Milton had a chance to tell VSee’s story to the Bay Area Nepali community and to show how it’s making a difference in developing countries.

I was chatting with one of our developers, Rishi, trying to understand why would Google want to opensource the full audio and video stack they acquired when they bought GIPS (i.e. give away perfectly good code that they spent plenty of money to purchase). He explained that one reason is…
Eight years ago when a friend told me about her coworker who lived 3 or 4 hours away from their company and worked from home most of the week, I was astounded. Now I’m in an even more extreme situation, living a couple of thousand miles away from company headquarters…
Summary: VSee user Dr. Russell E. Brown shares how VSee has helped him successfully practice telepsychiatry. Last week I got to speak with neurologist and psychiatrist, Dr. Russell E. Brown from Atlanta, Georgia. He is the Program Director of Avenia Behavioral Management and works with elderly patients suffering from such issues…
What’s new? Fixed connecting issue to directory (cannot call after directory restart) Fixed an audio bug in Automatic Quality Control Fixed crashes Thanks for your hard work development team!
Summary: An example of how a one-click Skype call improved my customer service experience, and how a VSee video call with screen-share could make it even better. Yesterday afternoon, after discovering that my tires had been slashed, I was online trying to figure out if my insurance policy would cover…
Summary: Mirror neurons may be the key to explaining why it’s so important to see people for social interactions.

This was my unartistic take on VSee’s “corporate” structure (I don’t think we’re big enough to be corporate) after seeing Manu Cornet‘s hilarious comic Organizational Charts, picturing the organizational structures of major companies like Facebook and Google. Guess which one is Milton 🙂
Someone had asked earlier what team building exercises VSee does. My initial reaction was “we don’t,” because we don’t really do ropes courses or packaged team building retreats, but I realized that one of the most important team building exercises we do is the daily stand-up meeting. Jason Yip of Thoughtworks…
Last week, Milton, Yuen-lin, Julio, and Casey attended the big Primerica convention at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. It’s like the mother of all conventions with exciting speakers, exhibits, and over 60,000 in attendance –a great opportunity to show off VSee’s impact and versatility as a sales tool.
When I read this article praising Apple for delaying the release of its iPhone 4 until they got the product “right,” it reminded me of a similar point that came up at one of our meetings. Again, it was a product usability versus doing business disagreement. Who Would Eat A…
There are many historical time lines of videoconferencing on the Internet. A nice one is from an earlier post on this very blog. Most of these histories identify the AT&T ikonophone as the first working video phone. Although a milestone in its own right, it was not the first videophone…
At VSee we have several people who are passionate about improving the situation of refugees around the world. They volunteer their time, knowledge, and resources to make a difference in the lives of refugees. In the past VSee has taken a very active role in supporting the cause, so in…
HP must be sighing in relief at finally getting rid of their Halo visual collaboration business unit since they practically handed it to Polycom for $89 million. Is It A Win-Win Deal?
