Plantronics Helps Make Remote Workers' Lives Easier (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the whatever-you-just-said-made-no-sense dept.

If you're working at home or from a coffee shop or, really, anyplace outside your company's offices, they need to hear you when you talk, and you need to hear them. The same goes for dealing with clients via VOIP or video, the two communications techologies that seem to be driving POTS into obsolescence faster than we thought possible just a few years ago. In this video, Plantronics PR person Karen Auby -- who works remotely most of the time herself -- explains how Plantronics products help make work easier in a world of "unified communications."

  2. This is getting worse... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We had one ad yesterday, two today, three tomorrow?
    Also the first one for instance was much better disguised, this is glaring obvious, is the obvious version cheaper?
    I wouldn’t expect that form slashdot 5 years ago, now I'm surprised it took so long...

  5. This will crater out just like Digg (see stats) by seifried · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seriously. I'm not one to reminisce about the "good old days" (see my UID) but this is serious ridiculous. This really reminds me of when Digg cratered out, just checked Digg, 15 stories on the front page and 77 comments, in total. I remember when they had hundreds of comments, per story. So I'm guessing if this continues Slashdot will crater out by the end of the year. Well it was nice while it lasted.

  6. Here's how to fix slashvertizements by Okian+Warrior · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's simple really... pan the product!

    Everyone post their negative experiences with the company, in gory detail.

    Even if you've never used the product, some well-placed negative innuendo or skeptical comparison (use this open source alternative instead!) will serve to disadvertize the product.

    After awhile, a short while (I'm hoping), the editors will realize that the readers don't want this, the sponsors will realize that they don't want this, and the practice will stop.

    People keep moaning about apathy in the face of an unlikeable situation, well here's our chance. Let's change the system.

    All together now, one... two... three...
