ARLINGTON, MA--(Marketwire - April 25, 2008) - Glance Networks, Inc. (www.glance.net),
creator of "one-click" desktop sharing, today began offering a free month
voucher for Web conferencing services to air travelers who have lost
valuable time to the recent spate of cancellations, delays and other
frustrations at airports nationwide. Glance lets teams instantly collaborate
online on presentations, software demos, document editing, design proofing,
remote training and more -- all without leaving the ground.
The past month has visited new levels of pain on weary travelers, leaving
them stranded and unable to attend meetings. Recently, the Airline Quality
Ratings (AQR) survey reported that 2008 is the worst year since the
inception of the survey and American Airlines cancelled more than 2,000
flights in the wake of FAA inspections on its MD-80 fleet. On top of that,
Aloha Airlines, ATA Airlines, Frontier Airlines and Skybus are either
shutting down or filing for bankruptcy protection, which means more
canceled flights.
"These kinds of delays have amounted to a loss in productivity that is
nearly incalculable. We've heard reports from recent weeks of more than
300,000 displaced passengers who are missing meetings and losing sales,"
said Rich Baker, CEO of Glance Networks. "Our customers have eliminated or
dramatically reduced their business travel by meeting remotely through Web
conferencing. We want to assist these stranded travelers and anyone who's
fallen victim to air travel delays and cancellations. So starting today,
we're offering a free month voucher for Web conferencing to help them catch
up on lost time."
The free month of Glance Web conferencing service (a $49.95 value) is
available today through May 31 by clicking on http://glance.net/airlinewoe.
