Add Powerful Social Interactions, Easily…

A typical day in any professional company is never complete without discussions, meetings, brainstorming sessions and exchange of ideas and opinions. This can include collaborating with larger groups of people and trying to note down everyone’s ideas and suggestions. After all, social interaction is very much necessary if you wish to perform well in any given task. And this is something I first noticed when I began my steps on the professional front. I had to converse and meet many team members to know about the thought process and ways to improve my project.

A simple situation that I faced while collecting data for my project was the need to mingle with different team members. A senior suggested the use of online webinar and conference sessions. I eagerly lapped the idea and the end result – plenty of documents that had to be sorted out and a need to maintain everybody’s viewpoints. With already more than enough work on hand, I had this additional task of taking care of inputs and maintaining all views of people who did not agree with the reports.


Then one fine sunny evening, things changed when the team members yelled ‘Eureka!’ When I did grasp what all the excitement was about, I almost joined in the encore. They were celebrating the creation of a very unique product. This was designed to make social interactions easy and gave a whole new definition to the way a person interacted online!

TeemingPod, the new product on the block, is an innovative idea created by our team of inspiring engineers. TeemingPod surely changes the way a person interacts online. With this product, a user can use powerful social interactions right inside a web page to interact with others. It also provides a structured way of storing information which helps reduce all the discussion clutter stored in document format.


So did TeemingPod change the way I work?! It is a true marvel that now I can start a discussion or a poll required in one go and contact the concerned group through TeemingPod. Within a matter of minutes I can know about a group opinion in a single meeting! The FAQ section is where we post any questions related to the task and receive valuable and genuine feedback from all team members. It helps us to clear our doubts before the meeting. Thus we all are on the same platform and the meetings are much more fruitful.


Further, debate activity is the one which has resolved most of my issues. Through this activity I can review important, contradictory inputs from different sets of people without maintaining them in multiple documents. This also becomes helpful for all of us to refer to in our further follow-up meetings. Through the Link Set option, we can share important work-related links for reviews. The Tag Cloud section is where I can share and search for key words that saves time for the entire team!


Since then, there has been a complete change in the way my entire team works. We no longer have to manage multiple files that contain inputs. Our meetings have become more fruitful as most of the background information is already shared through TeemingPod for all of us to look at. Apart from saving time, TeemingPod added a fun element to the way we work. So, isn’t it time you tried it out as well?
