This weekend, there are multiple interesting announcements.
We’re closing in on the weekend and there are several things I want you to be aware of. No time, so here we go:
- Interested in learning WebRTC? There’s a training session during ITEXPO, and I have a 24% discount for you to it – just write BLOGGEEK as your discount code when registering
- While we’re at it, Graham of WebRTCSchool was kind enough to give 25% off their WebRTC courses on www.webrtcschool.com until August 16th (there are now both developers and administrators WebRTC courses there) – just tell him I sent you – or just write BLOGGEEK as your discount code
- Chad, Reid and Victor (all ex-Acme Packet, 2 now Oracle) opened up a blog. It looks like something a lot more technical than my own blog and worth a read – webrtcH4cKS – not sure about you, but I am following it closely from now on
- Aswath Rao, a guy I know virtually for several years, have started writing a lot more about WebRTC on his own blog – EnThinnai. He also noted in a couple of areas that he has started consulting
- Best post of the week? Goes to Chris Kranky. He got me laughing my lungs out. It is around the SDP APIs in WebRTC, and his translation of Justin Uberti’s email is pure gold

That’s all for today. Now let me go deal with a wife that has a birthday.
Tsahi,
I was surprised you didn’t comment on the story about Google testing Google Helpouts. Many of the early successful WebRTC ventures have been around “rent an expert” or peer-to-peer video expertise sessions.
Looks like Google is trying to formalize that marketplace with Helpouts where they actually market and run the exchange. I wonder what this will do to the PopExpert type companies out there?
Takeouts deserves more than a passing note in a list of posts.
Frankly, I have no clue why (and if) Google is headed that way – it should be a relatively small market for them, and it competes directly within a domain they are trying to build an ecosystem in (WebRTC). Not sure how it will affect the likes of PopExperts and LiveNinja.
