Wednesday, September 5th, 2007I am amused by the fact that the coined term “webinar” continues to receive scorn and abuse by certain self-appointed watchdogs of business literature. I was just reading a blog comment from someone who saw an announcement of a company’s webinar and they found it necessary to put the word in quote marks and add a […]
From Convoq to Zingdom
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007
In my last post, I briefly mentioned that Convoq has changed its name to Zingdom and is no longer selling the ASAP line of web conferencing products. The co-founder and CTO of Convoq, Christopher Herot, was kind enough to speak with me about the change.
Chris says that when he and Chuck Digate formed Convoq, […]
New Web Conferencing Comparisons From Publicare
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007
Publicare’s web conferencing comparison site (www.webconferencing-test.com) has been updated with comparisons of additional conferencing software and some adjustments to their scoring system. They now have “User-friendliness” and “Speed of setting up a meeting” as the two most highly weighted components, with feature/functionality and cost coming in as lesser items.

…And the independent web conferencing market shrinks by one more player. WebDialogs just got acquired by IBM, which is trying to expand the reach of its Lotus Sametime line to reduce barriers to entry for smaller shops and companies that don’t want to install the application software on site.

Small Business Marketing Report From PresenterNet
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007PresenterNet just sent out an advance invitation to preview a publication entitled “Seven Steps To Small Business Marketing Success.” I downloaded a copy, expecting the usual marketing department puff piece about how the vendor’s product solves all the world’s business problems in one fell swoop. Imagine my surprise when I read the white paper and […]
Evaluating Web-Based Sales Demos
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007For some reason, I have suddenly been getting a string of inquiries as to whether Webinar Success can help companies improve their sales demos delivered via web conference. This surprises me a bit, as I figured my business would naturally gravitate towards public marketing and lead generation webinars. But I’m happy to help out with sales […]
Another Webinar Search Engine Launches

This is another search engine for upcoming and recorded webcasts/webinars. Simplicity seems to be the keyword here. You get to enter a search term, which scans against the title and short descriptor on the events in their database. Click on […]
Comings And Goings In The Web Conferencing Market
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007
Lots of action this month among web conferencing vendors.
As David Chao reported in his blog today, Convoq has stopped selling its ASAP line of web conferencing products (look carefully and you’ll see the simple little phrase on their home page).
One of the co-founders (Chuck Digate) has left and the other (Christopher Herot) has renamed […]
Babel (Or Babble)
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007
In my last post, I mentioned that I had added a public domain widget to do automatic translation of my blog page into other languages. It’s quick and it’s free. I believe I also used the phrase “dubious accuracy.”
Daniel Watson of IAL Services decided to check out just how dubious the translation was. Since IAL is […]
