Online Meetings in few Clicks

With the Advancements in technology, new dimensions to internet and high fidelity to Internet applications, developers launched a standard platform to make internet applications more sophisticated and called them Rich Internet Applications (RIA). Some of the most happening and important RIAs are :

Aviary www.aviary.com/tools

Crazy Egg www.crazyegg.com

Google Maps www.maps.google.com
