Which Webinar Platform should I use?
Written by kiwigal on July 7, 2009 – 10:34 pm -If your online, using webinar seems a natural choice.
The simplicity, the ease. You are able to administer control, the room is fulled
by your activity. You are pushing them to your content not some other guru or topic
and your keeping their attention.
Not only this, you have their attention once they are in the room with you. With Social
Media on the Rise, with business being held online. Also the fact that many are coming
together all over the globe its a cost effective solution.
I am not going to tell you which brand you should buy, their are free and paid options. Depending
on your conference/webinar size and your specifications it differs. I will however tell you what some
of them can do and then you can decide exactly what you need in a system then shop around. (Yes I
shop around religiously, I want service and a great price).
Desktop application-This shows your screen on your computer to your room.
Call in Number-It can be a web application plus have a Call in phone number for those unable to get to the web.
File Sharing-Sharing a document in the room specified.
Upload to Room-Upload a Pdf or file to share in your conference or webinar room.
Slideshows-Your room can be a Sales machine when no one is there, your able to have a whole
lot of pre-loaded information ready for someone to view at any time, great way to show a series
of documents for varied time zones.
Recording of Seminar-Many rooms now have the capability to record in the room.
Live streaming- Giving the speaker audio and Video in room. Normally a Webcam will be suffice for this type of presentation.
My thoughts with presenting this information was to give you a view of what to expect with any descent application. There is a variety of choice.
Another point is some applications are built on communities so your able to present your demonstration to your community which many times can give added exposure.
Its good to be able to have a link or a form to give out to Entrants, also follow up emails days before to remind them of their commitment.
Its a respectable way to present a group a presentation, paid or free it does a great job.
Many companies use these for privacy, others for large gatherings. Just keep in mind not every application will let you have huge ones. Some stop at 100 while some free services allow 20 free with other features.
There is a world of choice, They Start from FREE(however they need server space) to hundreds depending on what you need.
Some places that are set up are clever and define their services to create more ways for companies to increase income through this means of communication.
For any questions, pop them down here in chat I am sure if you do enough homework you can find the perfect application for your webinar/Seminar/Conferences.

Creating a Twitter Background masterpiece.
Written by Lisa on June 22, 2009 – 11:32 pm -Being Professional is important, this continues into your Twitter Presenting.
Presenting your Twitter is definately a value to you spending a little time sharing
yourself how you want others to see you.
If you want to be seen as funky, you want a funky page. If you want a professional
page you would like to go after something clean lined and professional looking. Some
companies already have logos they can implement to get a great profile going.
A good profile is always a great way to start on any site, Twitter is no different. Upon
upgrading my Twitter page I came across many tools to assist, thinking that a few
sites looked like they needing some sprucing up, thought I would share my research
this evening so you can create new hot looking Templates for your Twitter profile.
Here are my top 7 Chosen:
Twitbacks (this one I used as my pc let it)
Freetwitterdesigner (my favourite but would not work on my pc)
I may change my profile about 100 times this week playing with these new resources
I found, I just cannot help myself when I find new gimmicks to play with. Oh dear I
may have to be boring and get some work done, but now at least I shared and you can
go and have fun with these new list of Background tools.
Make it Beautiful!
