Conferencing's Carnac the Magnificent

"WebEx upgraded at CIBC: CIBC said it is upgrading WEBX to a Sector Outperformer due to solid operating momentum." ...2.17.06

With , we thought of our friend Elliot Gold - the Carnac the Magnficent of Conferencing - and his annual predictions for the conferencing industry including "WebEx Hits Wall by Q1 2006" ...Nothwithstanding that Elliot has an impressive, self-proclaimed batting average of 71% in accuracy, this prediction, with two weeks left in Q1 2006, seems to have struck out.

But hey, Elliot, no one's perfect! And we welcome your comment on this and any other of your predictions. ...And a note to industry players, we recommend checking out Telespan's Conferencing Workshop in Vegas on March 20th. For more information, click here.
