  • Note taking during a meeting because people can follow along regardless of location and then you have a transcript.
  • Its a good tool to use in concert with a conference call as it provides a way for people to ask questions without disrupting the flow of the call.
  • Good for smaller lightweight communications. Not so good for facilitating a conversation of over 5 people because it gets confusing.
  • If facilitating a conversation with over 5 people you need another person to assist you as the facilitator.
