Live Web Based Conferencing

What if... you could speak with your organization, as you "push" your most important product information to them...then take them right through a training process?

If you've been on the Net for a while, I'm sure you'll agree with me that the Internet is not going away anytime soon. You may also agree that between work and your daily routine, time is valuable; so attending important meetings may be a challenge for you. BUT, what if you could attend those meetings or events right from the comfort of your own home, or better yet, what if you could host a meeting yourself?

Well with web conferencing you can now host a live web conference, for hundreds of people throughout the world, without paying for an expensive meeting room or travel costs? Yes, web conferencing is taking meeting to a whole ne level.

According to Wikipedia, "web conferencing is used to conduct live meetings, training, or presentations via the Internet. In a web conference, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants via the Internet. This can be either a downloaded application on each of the attendees' computers or a web-based application where the attendees access the meeting by clicking on a link distributed by e-mail (meeting invitation) to enter the conference."

There is a big difference between racing across town, or across the country, to make a meeting, and sitting at your computer, in your pajamas, while sipping on a cup of hot chocolate. Not only are you saving money on gasoline, you're probably more comfortable. The information you're getting is no different than if you're sitting in a conference room in the Marriot or Hilton. The fact is, the information received by you, via your computer, or in person is exactly the same. I've seen plenty of power point presentations, and trust me, they are the same no matter where you view them.

One more fact that I must mention (because I've witnessed them both); a presenter can be interesting and/or boring in person, or coming through your computer.

So, what if...you could record your entire presentation and upload it for online viewing and listening within 5 seconds after your web conference ends? Why would you want to drive across town, and sit in front of a boring presenter, when you could stay home, listen, and even record the presentation? Besides, if you missed something, you can watch it at a later time.

You see, running around the city or country is a waste of time and money. Joining a web conference has many advantage, and has proven to produce better results.

Web Conferencing System

The other day I was checking out some forums on the Internet regarding web conferencing and the difference between web conference rooms. I found this one forum entitled, "What's the best web-based conferencing system?". As I continued to read the posts, I couldn't believe the number of posts that recommended Hot Conference as a premier web conferencing system. I know that the Master Distributors are doing this comparison survey and Hot Conference is on the list, so I took a peek at them, and here is what I found people saying about their web conference room:

"It's darn attractive for a lot of situations and at less than $30/mo for a basic room that lets you present to an unlimited number of attendees, it's certainly priced well."

"The greatest problem I found was that it can't track past web site logins: once I logged in to a service during my teleseminar last week, all the attendees were left sitting at the login screen on their computers, even while I cluelessly continued to talk about what I was seeing. The Hot Conference engineers report that they're working on a "desktop mirroring" version, but with no announced release date."

"Nonetheless, the idea of using voice over IP (VOIP) as the cornerstone of online conferencing is terrific, and by being able to sidestep any need for telephone lines or classic teleconferencing, it really becomes commoditized."

To me, the price of their web conference room seems competitive and VoIP is the in way to communicate, but having people "left sitting at the login screen" in their conference room should be totally unacceptable, and "desktop mirroring", what the heck is that? I know any product that is technology based has nagging problems, but to have the engineers "working" on it, is unacceptable. When a problem arises, and we all know one will, it needs to be dealt with immediately.

That's what's so awesome about VereConference. The engineers, are the owners of the company, ad the ones that built it. If a problem arises with your web conference room, you can be assured that the president and CEO will have it fixed immediately. Since they built the conference room, they can fix it. Nobody will be sitting in their web conference room starring a login screen.
