Cisco Telepresence on 30 Rock
November 6th, 2009 by Julia Lim
Another reason to be on Twitter. If my friend hadn’t sent me the tweet about Cisco Telepresence being on 30 Rock, I might have missed it. (OK – I admit that I probably would have seen it, given that all new episodes of 30 Rock are programmed to be taped on my DVR, and it’s my favorite show. Six Sigma, anyone??)
But still, I could have missed it, and what a shame that would have been. Jack Donaghy (played by the hilarious Alec Baldwin) somehow gets bedbugs and is forced to attend a meeting via Cisco Telepresence because nobody wants to have physical contact with him. So instead of the clear benefits of cost (travel) savings, better/virtual face-to-face communications, the show brings up an interesting side benefit of using Cisco Telepresence - keeping people out of your “immediate” presence. Think about it. As Jack says:
I can hear your hair growing on this thing!
Or go to hulu.com to watch the full episode
Kudos to our friends at Cisco!!
(Now if we could only have gotten the plug in about using EM7 for Cisco Telepresence management…)
