Glance 2.5 for Macs - Now in Beta | Download Today for Faster Screen Updates, Lead Capture, and Social Media Invites!

For our Mac community:

Glance has always been about quick and simple screen sharing. We're now taking "quick" to a whole new level. Our upcoming Mac release 2.5 (available today in beta) puts Macs on the same parity with the Windows version of Glance, and makes Glance faster than ever.

See for yourself how fast Glance sessions can be. Download the beta now. Give it a workout and tell us how it goes (email mac@glance.net with your feedback).

Glance 2.5 features include:

• Faster screen updates
• Snappy slide transitions
• Present from any monitor connected to your Mac (click "G > Settings > Options")

Plus,

• Collect guests' names and contact info for better lead capture. Your guests will now see three new optional fields: Name, E-mail, and Phone. You can see the information they enter, along with our estimate of their geographic locations, after each session. (Call us and we can make any of these fields "required".)
• Invite guests to your session via Twitter and Facebook. When you start a session, you'll see two new buttons in the Session Info box. Clicking the Facebook icon posts a link to the session on your wall. Clicking the Twitter icon tweets a link to it. Both are great ways to build buzz about about your live events

If you're on a Mac and already a Glance user, give Glance 2.5 beta a try today (and let us know how it goes!)

Glance Stars In the Two Best Films of the Year!

 
Maybe we won't win any Oscars for these, but nobody can deny the importance of these two films.

Glance vs. WebEx - Glance 3x Faster
Glance vs. GoToMeeting - Glance 3x Faster

In these classic David vs. Goliath yarns, Glance is pitted against hulking, complicated opponents WebEx and GoToMeeting.

Glance runs circles around the competition to a score provided by Rossini (William Tell Overture). The facile narration of our CEO, Rich Baker, deserves props, too.

We always knew Glance was faster and so did you. But these videos prove it unflinchingly, in real time. Glance gets your web demo up and running 3x faster than WebEx and GoToMeeting, with way less buttons and tasks to perform. Seeing is believing - check it out. And feel free to spread the word. :-)

The Glance Team

Reverse Slam Dunk

The first few months of our new Reverse Screen Sharing feature (as part of the 2.4 upgrade for PCs in September) have been a runaway success.

All manner of businesses are now learning the joys of remote tech support and remote training, and wondering why they didn't do it sooner. The answer is simple: up until now, the technology to do this kind of thing has been clunky, slow, and aggravating. So, they avoided it. (It's kind of like why some people never bothered to watch videos or surf the web on their cell phones, until the iPhone came out.)

In Glance's able hands, reverse screen sharing soars! You see and control your guests screen in one click - so there's no reason to wait any longer. The future of reverse screen sharing has erupted into the present, and its free for all current Glance users, so dive in!

(And if you're currently using one of our big, lumbering opponents, feel free to switch and join the winning team any time.) You can download Glance 2.4 for PCs here. If you're reading this and you don't have a Glance account yet, grab a free trial, and if you're on a PC, you'll get our 2.4 version automatically.
