UberConference: Free Conference Calls With Social Info For Participants

UberConference is a web service which allows making and joining free conference calls online. As UberConference is a web service, it can be accessed from any device with an internet browser. Furthermore, you can also make conference calls via the UberConference Android and iPhone apps. While you might not be able to share or present PowerPoint presentations with UberConference, it is still quite an easy to use and feature rich service and has the potential to match competitors like ReadyTalk and CalliFlower.

For example, if you are talking to a client and are unable to determine the value of a participant he brings along (e.g. his/her IT Manager), you can quickly look at the person’s social profile via UberConference. This can save you from the hassle of asking and remembering details about each participant and even keep you ahead of the flock by getting quick social information for conference call participants.
