syncVUE

syncVUE is a product that enables users to sync up media files like video or audio with their Skype contacts for collaborative annotation in real time. It’s an impressive use of the Skype network, an approach that’s likely to become increasingly common. There’s a long list of plug-ins available on the Skype Extras page, but that’s far from an exhaustive list.

syncVUEmakes the review and approval process easier than ever before. Multiple persons can simultaneously view and annotate local copies of the same media files in perfect sync from different locations — whether separated by cubicles, city blocks, or continents.
