First Public Beta Announced

We just announced the first public beta of MeetingKing.

We have been working hard the last few months and added a lot of new functionality and fixed some pre-release bugs. Some of the features we added are:

• “Follow-up meetings” – When creating a new meeting you can link it back to a previous meeting. This will automatically copy all the logistical information (invitees, dial-in info, etc) and will automatically populate the agenda with open action items from previous meetings and list any topics that were placed in the parking lot in one of the previous meetings.
• Parking Lot -If during a meeting a new, unrelated topic comes up, or you cannot finish certain topics, you can drag and drop the topic on the Parking Lot and move it to the agenda of a next meeting.
• Minutes and agenda are now also in the body of the email message in addition to the PDF attachment. The user does not have to open a separate PDF-file and users who use their inbox as an archive can find anything from any meeting by simply doing a search in their email application.

MeetingKing is ready for the world to start using it, help us spread the news!

Edwin is the former CEO of WinZip Computing as well as VP of sales of the largest electronics and appliances retail chain in The Netherlands and VP of commercial affairs of a large retail chain in Peru. In all these capacities he attended and chaired many meetings and was frustrated by the lack of an integrated tool that followed the entire workflow around meetings from preparing the agenda, writing the minutes to manage tasks. There are many task management tools and note-taking solutions, but nothing covered all stages of a meeting. After leaving WinZip Edwin started Meeting king to help people have more effective meetings.
