Although our most recent release focused a number of new phone and conference connection features we did include a few minor improvements throughout the website.
CellFrog users who have been taking advantage of the Conference Dashboard for sharing files, listening to recordings and connecting with conference participants will now notice the addition of the new Administrator Area.
The new Administrator Area provides contact information for the conference call organizer along with their picture and all of the conference call credentials. Additionally the administrator area contains a link to the ‘new local numbers’ page which lists all of the local conference call phone numbers.
This new addition allows conference call participants to quickly connect with administrators for communication beyond the conference call.

San Diego, CA – Feb 23, 2009 – CellFrog, a web 2.0 phone conferencing and collaboration service, announces integration with Google Docs. The integration enables live collaborative editing and sharing of Google Docs with conference call attendees.
Users can access their Google Docs via the conference dashboard; a web based tool that provides file sharing, attendee feedback and live attendee management of a phone conference.
The Google Docs integration allows users to directly access their existing documents and spreadsheets. Users can then choose to share their documents with all conference attendees or edit them directly within the CellFrog site.
Once a user has shared a Google Docs file CellFrog notifies all conference attendees of the newly available file. The Google Docs integration seamlessly compliments the file management tool which can be used to upload any other pertinent files for the conference.
