Dilbert does Cisco endorsement

You probably haven't given it much thought, but there goes a fair amount of research into something that's as seemingly trivial as a Dilbert cartoon.

Some cubicle slave inside the bowels of Cisco's offices must have known, and came up with the idea to have Dilbert author Scott Adams show off the capabilities the company's Unified MeetingPlace product, Cisco's meeting application.

The result is a video demonstration by Adams. It may have 'paid endorsment' written all over it, but it still does a good job at showing off the product. And at least the video sticks out from all the suits and ties videos.

I just wish that Cisco had made the video more blog-friendly by allowing me to embed it into this website rather than forcing me to link to it.

PS.
As we're on the Dilbert topic (again...) I just must offer you this quote:

"I know someone is going to read this and point out that the Bible predicts the creation of the nation of Israel. By that standard, I have a cookbook in the kitchen that has predicted a lot of my meals. So you’ll have to do better than that."

Enjoy your meal.
