Many people, in the hundreds, have been admitted to hospitals around the world reporting symptoms of the deadly virus. Officials are warning people off crowded places, which begs the question: Can we prevent ourselves from infection by using web conferencing as opposed to traveling for meetings?

With possible cases and symptoms already appearing in many countries over the world, a pandemic is a clear concern and travel restrictions are no doubt a wise and safe preventive measure. Travel bans and strict quarantine restrictions on travelers are now the hot topic of discussion, with the World Health Organization expected to make a decision on the pandemic alert level this week that could result in serious implications for travelers.

To gain a clearer understanding of whether a desktop sharing app like Mikogo can in fact battle the swine flu and prevent infection, we’d like to hear from you – the experienced users of Mikogo.

What are your feelings about the current swine flu reports?

Are you more likely to organize web conferences during any time of outbreak? Have you considered changing or canceling any upcoming travel plans? Are you more likely to work from home? For what needs do you foresee yourself using web conferencing in the next days/weeks to avoid traveling and exposure to swine flu?

Please leave your comments below. Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

This led us to the obvious question: Where in the world are the Mikogo users?

At this point, the Mikogo Community is comprised of users from over 160 countries! Based on this, it is easy to imagine how Mikogo facilitates greater communication across the globe via the Internet and free desktop sharing.
It really is great to see that Mikogo is being enjoyed in so many countries. Considering that Mikogo is in English, it comes as no surprise that our free online meeting app is used primarily in the USA. However Mikogo is clearly popular in more countries than just the English-speaking world, and therefore it is definitely one of our big plans this year to have Mikogo translated into several languages – an exciting task at hand, and something that will no doubt appeal to thousands of Mikogo users around the world.
For those who enjoy a good blogging session, we would love to see more and more blog posts about Mikogo in your own native language. If you are blogging about Mikogo, feel free to let us know about your post by leaving a comment below.
