Whygos Take: We are working closely with GVN to integrate video conferencing into the travel booking process. This is a market that is reluctant to move to new technologies as they are eroding their current bottom line. However we firmly believe that with some guidance and the right tools, video conferencing will be a viable travel alternative offered to all business travelers in near the future.

Thirty-two Screen Telepresence Interop Call Successful

- Wednesday, 20 April 2011

As the heading suggests, we are getting VERY close now to easy interoperability of videoconferencing technologies...if Ben Fineman and Internet 2's tests have anything to say about it.
In brief, 32 screens connected with a mix of Cisco Telepresence single and multi screen, legacy HD Tandberg, HD and SD Polycom, Lifesize and even desktop clients like Movi and Vidyo...and the feedback was positive.

Whygos Take: Great test and very good result. The next big question for us is how long will it take for MSP's to automate that for everyone?

Reduce Carbon Emissions

Video conferencing is by far the best face to face alternative to flying available today. As such, every time you choose to video conference instead of flying you help reduce your carbon footprint and slow down global warming.

"In the UK alone, the Government forecasts 500 million airline passengers a year by 2030 – from 229 million in 2005."

- UK Department of Transport.

"Air Travel is in the fastest growing source of the greenhouse gases that lead to climate change."

- Friends of The Earth.

Video Conferencing DOES Help Reduce Global Warming! The fact is global warming is increasing the average temperature of the earth’s oceans and air and has been on the rise since the mid 20th century and is expected to increase yearly.

Whygo is not saying don’t fly, but we do recommend video conferencing as an alternative and we at Whygo are proud to be part of the solution that’s helping to reduce our carbon footprint of our planet.


Why fly when you... can't? Whygo chose the slogan above to highlight that people do not always need to fly for a face to face meeting. Video conferencing is the perfect alternative. It is also as environmentally friendly and carbon neutral as distance meetings get.. To help us communicate this message we chose penguins and polar bears, not just because they cannot fly but because their lives are in threat due to climate change. After we launched our new website look and feel with our new animal friends as mascots of our message, we discovered the World Wild Life Funds adopt an animal program and instantly fell in love with the idea of promoting and supporting this initiative. As such we are not only promoting this amazing service to anyone and everyone who will listen but we will be adopting animals on behalf of our customer as our thank you present. Whygo will commit $50 out of every $500 profit we make for any customer to the WWF's adopt an animal program. Join us an help some animals from extinction and adopt an animal today. You get some GREAT goodies if you do! Your application pack will include
