ET NetLert Communications announced version 2.2.1 of NetLert, an instant messaging tool.
Users communicate with one or more users in a single text box in real time.
The software functions similarly to AOL or Yahoo IM chat, with a few key business-oriented additions. The NetLert white board enables users to collaborate through text, drawings and images on a virtual white board. Any participant can add to the white board, and multiple edit views can be saved, enabling the group to return to a previous view. The board can also be locked to prevent further editing. The poll results are tallied and returned to the user who asked the question, who can then forward them to the group if desired.
