Hi Pheo,

I love exploring, too, I find that live online conferences are great because of the chat boxes. I would not be able to survive hours of listening or watching (if the webcams are available) if it weren't for the chat boxes. That's where I can connect with others, pose questions in real time, and learn about new technologies. The sharing that goes in in online conferences via the chatboxes is incredible.

I find online conferences more meaningful than f2f conferences because I can share/learn about websites/technologies and access them in real time. I love multitasking online so the chatboxes/online conferences are perfect for my learning preferences.
Paul,

I find it very difficult to present online without a webcam. I use WiZiQ because it is flash based and allows me and the other participants to speak with the webcam or via audio if they don't have a webcam. Personally, I need to see the presenter or I feel like I'm on the phone. For me, it's like the difference between radio and TV. I prefer TV.
I had the pleasure of presenting at a face-to-face conference in New Orleans and presenting on WiZiQ at the same time. It was an awesome experience getting the two audiences connected. Everyone felt the energy of connecting from their homes and feeling like they were with me at the conference.
