Understanding more about each other is key to creating a cohesive team.
This is especially true when working over great distances with little chances for personal interaction.

The best way to create a shared personal experience is to meet face to face.
Unfortunately this is not always feasible and practical. And with the current economic climate, travel budget is often the first thing being reduced.

While Email has become accepted a the primary form of business communication, it doesn’t convey emotions and can be very inefficient for project collaboration.
And we won’t mention here the spiral email overload effect…

Timzon combines the advantage of the asynchronous communication with a more personal interaction through video.
Many studies show that the majority of information conveyed in a conversation is non-verbal.
Video is the perfect alternative to face-to-face, in order to convey all the subtle emotions that would be lost otherwise and are key to a successful communication.
also, unlike traditional video email solutions, TimZon presents the communication is a neatly organized discussion thread.
You can at any time invite another participant to the discussion and they will get at the same level of understanding than the original team by following the discussion from the beginning.

Please share your virtual (distributed) team experience with us and how we could make TimZon a better tool to help you in your daily communication.

Thanks,
The TimZon team.

We started TimZon to facilitate the communication of ideas remotely.

While the previous release was successfull in providing just this, a major redesign was necessary to make it more accessible to all and overall a better experience.

Thanks to your numerous feedback, we are releasing today a newer and much better version of TimZon that will revolutionize the way we are communicating. We think you are going to like it…

Organize your discussions:

By adopting a more conventional email-like interface you can now sort through all the discussions and at a glance see to what is new.

In the discussion list, you can now directly Archive or Delete one or multiple discussions.

Don’t worry, you can easily Restore a discussion from the “Deleted” group or move an archived discussion back To Inbox from “All discussions”.

Use the star to flag discussions that are important to you and find them easily in the “Starred” folder.

Synchronized events:

Because sometime more information needs to be shared than what can showned in video, we’ve added the ability to share text comments and whiteboard while recording a new video.

Simply click on “Beta: add time-stamped information” under the video recorder and add synchronized events.

By the way, you can now add links in text comments and they while be showned as hyperlink.

RSS feeds:

Get update about your discussions directly from your preferred feed reader.
Select the “Settings” menu to access your personalize feed.

What’s next:

We have several improvements in the works to make the TimZon experience more enjoyable, but we would really like to hear from you to know what features you would like to see added to TimZon.
