Gloo

I recently discovered this new real-time online collaboration tool called Gloo. It is one of the exclusive offers by Globe Broadband.

Gloo is perfect this season, when you have no time to personally meet with relatives, friends or colleagues to discuss plans for Christmas Party or as such.

Let me share to you my experience in using this. First, I signed up and checked my mail for activation, but found the activation email on my Spam folder; so you better check your Junk or Spam folder if you haven’t seen an email in your Inbox after creating an account on Gloo. Upon activation, I created a practice space then made this a chance to talk to my cousin who is away from home, but will be arriving in time for Christmas. I invited her on my “Practice” space. When she accepted my invitation and activated her profile, we chatted about plans regarding our Family Christmas party and I showed her a video of my daughter whom I would like to offer a song number. She loved the idea and liked that I introduced to her Gloo.

After she went offline, I edited my profile and added my Globe number as my cousin did as she activated her account. I tried the SMS feature and it works like a charm. SMS from Gloo is free, but MMS cost Php 2.50. Replying to a message sent from Gloo would also cost Php 2.50.

I really enjoyed using Gloo! This is best use as scrapbook, business page, group meetings, place for parents to interact with their kids and family from abroad, barkada message board, planning events, collaboration tool for business meeting, collaboration board for school meetings.
