For those of us who are not academics, what makes a seminar distinct from perhaps a typical industry conference and how come existing solutions such as Pheedloop do not fill that gap well?
The best way to think of it is probably that Cassyni is to webinars as an academic journal is to blogs.
As an example, we issue a DOI for each seminar, meaning their metadata are indexed in the same systems that are used by journals to manage and report on citations. This turns the recording into something that is much closer to the formal sphere of human knowledge and can be included in typical academic reporting and evaluation structures.
