This App Makes Conference Calls Completely Free And Painless

ScreenshotUnison is essentially a social network for the workplace, letting people collaborate and get updates on what people are up to regardless of where they are.

And one of its most compelling features will have you getting rid of whatever conference call service you use – "instant live group conversations."

As soon as you log in to Unison, you can share your audio with everyone on your team that's also logged in to the same Unison "room." While you're working, you only need to speak out loud to get the attention of everyone else.

This all happens in-app and it happened before Skype could do it. Later this week it will happen in-browser. No more long phone numbers and PIN numbers.

Here's what Unison co-founder Rurik Bradbury had to say about it:

Conference calls always have some innate level of confusion – dial-in codes, bad connections from people's cellphones, people simply not joining and having no idea who's on. It saps hours from most businesses' lives because it's so pervasive. Unison's a case of everyone logging onto their computer (even in a browser) and hitting 'talk live.'"
