jesus christ I just noticed that zoom is worth 100 billion. Thats just half of Salesforce's cap. Theyre embedded into a shitload of companies and the product is sticky. Changing videoconferencing apps is trivially easy. Oh yeah and Zoom trades at liked 70x forward sales lmao

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

i don't know. i'm not quite sure you understand the level of competence the average adult shows wrt computers or the tendency of large organizations to not change a single loving thing unless absolutely obligated to

Yeah between Skype sucking forever and Zoom having terrible hardware support I'm actually going to say Teams has been the conferencing app that's worked real well

I also liked WebEx, but haven't used it since early 2020

rkt's pe ratio is actually around 12 right now, after the pump, so from a financial perspective it has a good business model and its stock price is actually under valued right now compared to a ton of other companies.

Zoom's strength is that you click a button and you're good to go. Anything involving a lot of, or even ANY, hardware integration is like a dumpster on wheels parked at the top of a steep hill. Teams is mess, it's a waste

if Zoom is the best phone app for it that points to a deeply hosed up mobile ecosystem because the phone app is quite terrible. May be better on an iPad but probably only just
