Broadcast real time text news over the company network to all connected receivers. Also display notes locally as known from previous versions. Sophisticated time control included!

Pros: MemoTicker has developed from a handy note tool to a powerful news system for a company network. Important news and information can spread at high speed and in real-time. This is push-communication as an instrument, without using the Intranet, and without the necessity to act yourself in order to receive the information (pull-communication, like with browsers, email, etc.). Using memoticker3, you display or broadcast your notes and memos in a ticker on top or bottom of the screen - similar to the known stock exchange or news tickers in TV.

As a special feature, a sophisticated time control turns your ticker-line into a powerful time management system. You can display your notes permanently or on selected dates. A powerful and easy to use timing control assists you with creating date-controlled notes. News broadcast then can be controlled to such logic as "Broadcast this message (show this note) on every last Tuesday of the month, and also on two days before". News created on a computer defined as the transmitter will be displayed on all computers defined as receivers. A company network can hold one ore more transmitters, but a receiver can only be connected to one transmitter at a time. Switching to another transmitter can easily be done by entering a new network path. MemoTicker may, but does not have to run permanently on the broadcast computer in order to maintain the broadcast mode. You can close MemoTicker after creating, editing or deleting news on the broadcast computer. It is merely essential to keep the broadcast computer itself running. The sysop can individually activate the broadcast mode and set the network path to the broadcast computer on each computer designated as receiver. He creates his password on the broadcast computer administrated by him. It is not necessary to explicitly define a computer as transmitter. Each computer not set as a MemoTicker receiver can be a transmitter.

Cons: No specific issues noticed.

Overall: Quite useful functionality, the electronic equivalent of a paging public address system. It is reasonably easy to use. This is a good 4 star system level performance.
