Good morning!

It's a really busy day for me today, as I have an investor lunch at noon, then a 2pm meeting with MySale (LON:MYSL) (in which I hold a long position), which should be really interesting. I still haven't got round to reporting on the recent trading update from MYSL, so will aim to put together an article here over the weekend combining both the RNS and today's meeting. It's another of these internet retailers that is difficult to value, and now looks very expensive on conventional metrics.

I promised to report back on a meeting which I attended on Weds this week, at LoopUp's Shoreditch office. This company caught my eye a few weekends ago, when I was familiarising myself with recent new floats.

LoopUp offers an innovative conference call software. It's cloud based, and works tons better than conventional conference calling. Key features are;

  • No training required - it's intuitive to set up & use.
  • Instant setup - due to it being cloud-based. No complicated downloads or plugins. You're up & running very quickly & easily, in a completely automated process.
  • Better control - the user sets up a conference call through Outlook or other calendar software. LoopUp then dials out, to bring in the attendees. A control panel shows exactly who is in the meeting, giving enhanced security. Background noise can be muted, and the control panel shows who is talking at all times.
  • Screen-sharing allows collaboration, presentations, etc.
  • Reliability - battle-proven software.
  • Deliberately light on features - the overriding aim is to make it simple & intuitive to use.

The trouble with meeting management, is that if they're likeable (and I tend to like most people) then you can end up forgiving their mistakes,…
