people attending mesh innovative ways to find out what's happening."
Viigo will be available free of charge for all delegates at the mesh
conference, which takes place at the MaRS Collaboration Centre from May 30th -
31st. The application will deliver a range of live mesh feeds, including
breaking news, attendee feedback, conference highlights, product
announcements, sneak previews, as well as regular contributions from the mesh
gang blogging right from the conference floor. It can also be downloaded by
anyone unable to attend the conference and wishing to follow mesh from afar.

community of interests," commented Jay Steele, Founder of Virtual Reach.
"We're very pleased to be a part of the mesh community and excited by being
able to deliver the ideals of mesh to an increasingly mobile audience."
In addition to showcasing a range of mesh content live from the show,
users will also have access to a wide variety of additional content from
Viigo's Channel Library, all with a single click. Users can quickly and easily
subscribe to an array of special interest news, blogs, sports, weather,
