OK, I just made a Black Swan-type mistake (read the book), when I wrote in my last post that Goldmail was “different.”  I have to constantly remind myself (or rather my friends do the reminding for me) that, just because I haven’t seen something like this before doesn’t imply that it doesn’t exist or that there aren’t a lot of them.  So in response, I received this post through Plaxo Pulse from a friend, Bruce, over at Iron Mountain.

John:
Goldmail looks very simliar to a service we use called Brainshark out of Waltham, MA. Very cool tool, create the presentation, send the link, get almost near instant reporting on who watched, how many slides, for how long… There are quite a few of these services out there. Best part about them as they usually don’t get caught in spam filters where a lot of marketing pieces do. Let me know if you care to see one.
Cheers,
Bruce

Thanks, Bruce and Mike, who commented on Windows Live Mail in my earlier post.  So now, let me leave it to the folks at Microsoft, Goldmail and Brainshark to inform us here in the comments section of the differences.  And, if anyone else has a favorite enhanced-email tool, please let us know here.  Comments are welcome.  And yes, Bruce, I would like to see one of your presentations.  Something about Iron Mountain’s online desktop backup solution, maybe?  I had a dream, last night, that I lost my PC.
