The Space must also allow for written text to be viewed by all participants.  Furthermore, this Space would best benefit the company if the meetings could be recorded and viewed later by those unable to attend.


Tools for Analyzing the Problem:
Skype allows for users to see eachother, to text eachother, but does not allow for meetings to be recorded.

Facebook allows for users to see eachother, to text eachother, and allows for meeting to be recorded. ]]> 2018-03-20 19:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brookedancer21/2yq5uky38zy2/wish/244229932 brookedancer21 https://padlet.com/brookedancer21/2yq5uky38zy2/wish/244730260 2018-03-21 19:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brookedancer21/2yq5uky38zy2/wish/244730260 brookedancer21 https://padlet.com/brookedancer21/2yq5uky38zy2/wish/244735172 Facebook offers the best solution for Waking Up, Inc's need to implement an effective tool for virtual meetings.
