Teleplace
Computerworld
"However, one excellent alternative to travel is [Teleplace], a service that creates a very life-like virtual meeting area in the cloud. It's an exciting, interactive working environment for groups."
Getting Started
Setting up Teleplace is simple: No 3-D modeling or complicated file importing is required. Imagine-in just a few minutes you can create a collaborative virtual space using only your mouse, have all the files, charts, and tools organized and laid out for immediate collaboration, and start interacting with others via chat or voice
Step 1: Create a virtual meeting space
Choose from a set of ready-to-use virtual meeting space designs for your meeting. With out-of-the-box templates, you can set up a virtual space by simply pointing and clicking and create a space in less than a minute.
Step 2: Import materials for the meeting
Drag and drop files from your computer into the virtual meeting space. Other attendees will also be able to add materials when they join the meeting. Teleplace's simple "drag and drop" model takes the complexity out of importing files into your virtual space.
Step 3: Invite attendees and participants to join you
Share files and work together with applications. Teleplace's built-in text chat, Voice-over-IP, and webcam features make communicating easy. Teleplace's built-in support for "speech-gesture- sketch" provides a significant improvement over traditional conferencing communications.
