iLinc Named as One Way to Save the Planet

iLinc Web conferencing is one of ten ways to save the planet, according to pcmag.com. iLinc receives this distinction not only because of awesome Web conferencing capabilities, but also because it's the only solution with a Green Meter.

This truly unique feature measures CO2, cost, and travel savings of iLinc Web conferencing instead of traveling. And what's really great is that the software makes its calculations automatically, while you're busy collaborating online. Being Green doesn't get any easier!

Here's the scoop in PC Mag's words:

"Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: iLinc's Green Meter Web Conferencing
If you're a frequent business traveler, you may want to mention to your boss that it's better to Web conference than commute. James M. Powers, Jr., head of the Web conferencing software company iLinc, designed the Green Meter, a CO2 savings application embedded in the company's conferencing products. Inspired by Al Gore's initiative to save the earth, the Green Meter uses a "mathematical algorithm to detect the locations of the people that are attending a Web conference via IP address and measures the distance between the meeting participants and the meeting leader." The program then arrives at the amount of travel and measures how much CO2 is saved by Web conferencing rather than commuting. iLinc's Green Meter comes standard with iLinc version 9.0." - pcmag.com, 4/22/08
