Complementing the concurrent United Nations Rio+20 conference, the Rio+Social conference included…
One of the things I love about working at VSee is hearing stories about how VSee makes a real difference in people’s lives. For some, VSee’s ability to deliver video over limited network capacities makes it the only means for them to access needed medical care or to see far away family.…

Early last week Lifehacker posted a story about a recent Stanford University experiment on teleworkers in a Chinese travel agency.
