"We understand now more than ever that demands on time and money this holiday season are at an all-time high," Steve Metzger, CEO, said. "GeniusRoom gives busy professionals a truly personalized, efficient environment to connect to others while reducing travel, on-site meetings and stress."

What is GeniusRoom?
GeniusRoom is a fully scalable, 100 percent web-based communications platform used by professionals and communications devotees to conference call, share and store files, actively participate in PowerPoint presentations, and carry on real-time discussion via private and group message boards from anywhere in the world.

Unlike first generation competitors such as WebEx and GoToMeeting, GeniusRoom packs essential communications tools into in a single robust -- yet streamlined -- user interface. It also costs much less.

GeniusRoom customers can now take advantage of free conference rooms with the following features: online file storage, secure chat, bulletin boards, private messaging, and PowerPoint presentation sharing. GeniusRooms also include access to the one-click screen sharing beta program.

Additional features such as click-to-conference are available under a paid subscription plan.

Powered for Blackberry
In addition to the basic browser mode, the company recently unveiled two companion tools. GeniusRoom Companion, similar to an instant messenger, alerts users to new chat messages, discussion posts, or files via the system tray. GeniusRoom Mobile allows users streamlined Blackberry access.
