Connections - January 2009 - (Page 17) “NetMeeting, GoToMeeting, and WebEx are all kind of fun Web meeting software applications,” said Justin Riddle, information technology specialist. All of the programs are all conferencing clients that allow users to interact in real time using the Internet. In a virtual meeting everyone signs into the program. The presenter has a PowerPoint-like screen that he or she shows everyone in the meeting. By using the slides, the presenter can speak to the attendees. If attendants have a microphone and speakers, they are able to speak to the presenter to ask questions about the presentation and many virtual meetings have the ability for listeners to type back and forth to exchange ideas with listeners in other areas. “Net meetings are ideal, particularly for those who are used to traveling a lot and for those who sell Web-based technology,” said Grimm. “Because they allow you to share what’s on your screen, you can demonstrate your product just as effectively from thousands of miles away.” “[These programs] are good for presenting slide shows over a distance,” said Riddle.
