It's not hard to see where meetings have taken a bad rap these days. A line of commercials featuring oblivious manager Bill Lumbergh-who goes so far as to call in his staff on Labor Day for a catch-up meeting-underscore a fairly common opinion about the meeting.

One problem with videoconferencing is that, sometimes, it can feel a bit impersonal compared to a physical meeting.
