Mikogo Launches New Version for Free Online Meeting Software

[caption id="attachment_174" align="alignnone" width="262" caption="Mikogo Web Meetings"]

[/caption]Mikogo Press Release

Mikogo Launches New Version for Free Online Meeting Software

[caption id="attachment_175" align="alignleft" width="399" caption="Mikogo Online Meetings"]

[/caption]With greater capabilities and ease of use in mind, Mikogo launches its new version with several new features backing up its cost-free solution to online meetings. Meeting scheduler, session recorder, whiteboard toolbar, and a conference call service are just a few of the new features offered in Mikogo version 2.0, providing a powerful screen sharing tool available for everyone at no cost.

Mannheim, GERMANY November 27, 2008 – The desktop sharing tool, Mikogo (http://www.mikogo.com), announced the enhanced version of its free online meeting solution with the addition of several new features. Mikogo now offers new conferencing capabilities, such as meeting scheduler and a voice conferencing service, as well as an easier-to-use platform to deliver a comprehensive solution for anyone looking to collaborate over the Web.

While version 2.0 includes a tweaked interface to enhance usability, the major focus of this release is undoubtedly the addition of several new free Mikogo features. All current and future Mikogo users can now organize online meetings with the following new features:

? Meeting scheduler
? Whiteboard
? Conference call service
? Session recording
? Back monitor
? Copy/Paste meeting info
? Instant screen build-up

The new Mikogo features had already received some buzz in the blogosphere, with the announcement of an upcoming version on the product's blog, where Mikogo users voiced their excitement for the new version. Renowned software bloggers have also already posted about what can be expected from the delivery of the new Mikogo version.

One feature in particular that is bound to gain heavy attention, is that of the free meeting scheduler. This new addition to the Mikogo feature list enables users to plan their online meetings ahead of time, and then email the details to the invited participants along with a reminder email for the organizer. Ideal for the small business owner to keep track of their online discussions with clients, colleagues and business contacts.

Since its initial launch, the free screen sharing has been a great success with over 65,000 users joining the Mikogo Community. The Mikogo Forum, and recently the new Mikogo Blog (http://www.mikogo-blog.com), have in fact contributed to some of the new version features.

“As the Mikogo Community continues to grow, we receive numerous emails, forum posts, and blog comments, providing suggestions and feedback on our software,” explains Mark Zondler, Co-Founder of Mikogo. “This has played a large role in which features we targeted to include, and consequently the new version is a reflection of user demand.”

Backing up the official and successful launch of its Skype Extra, while at the same time answering to the requests of the Mikogo Community, the new version is set to turn some heads with its free offering bringing a greater solution to the Web collaboration table.

Audio Conferencing Company - Finding One

Finding an audio conferencing company comes down to the scope of your objectives. A traditional audio conference company is usually expensive, cumbersome and hard to schedule. On the other hand, web based audio conferencing providers are a lot cheaper, easy to use and convenient to schedule. By planning conferences by email, joining a meeting is as easy as clicking that mouse. Apart from audio, internet conference companies give you access to a ton of graphical and multimedia resources you can use to enrich your experience. Imagine being able to collectively manipulate graphs, share files and collaborate on other tasks while at the same time being able to hold a discussion from anywhere in the world.

A company that offers audio conferences through the internet implicitly touches on the global power of the World Wide Web. No matter where the participants are located in the globe, any company can hold an international meeting with an internet based conferencing company. The best part is that the costs for making this happen are all the same, independent of location. So a business could hold a meeting with attendees from China, New York and Turkey at the same time for the same low cost.

Combining audio capabilities with tool collaboration features, web conferencing rises up as champion of the networking communication scene. The only thing needed to get started is a computer with internet connection and a sense of mystery and awe for this new technology that keeps forever evolving into a better solution for the consumer. Unparalleled

Web Conferencing 101

Simply put, web conferencing is conducting meetings using the internet.

With web conferencing, attendees can share presentations and other contents of their desktop. This type of collaboration can be extremely effective when used for salesforce training or demonstrations to large, scattered groups. Web conferencing usually includes interactive chat, Powerpoint presentations, streaming audio and video, and other implements.

Let's say we both want to meet to talk about a very important topic. I live in Australia while you in the US. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on travel cost alone, we can have a cheap and highly productive meeting right here, right now. How?

Go to your computer. Connect to the internet. Join a meeting. And that's it! We're already conferencing. It's that easy. Anytime two persons or more hold a meeting over the internet, that's what we call web conferencing.

It all starts with a software that the conference host downloads and installs on his computer. For a serious piece of communication software, web conferencing programs nowadays are amazingly small and unnoticeable. They will continue to get tinier as the years or even months go by.

Then the host begins inviting participants to attend the meeting. Most if not all web conferencing services I've seen have a built-in system of announcing to attendees in advance thru email.

To join a meeting, each participant should first download and install a little program of their own, at times even smaller than what the host is using. Or better yet, some setups don't even require attendees including the host to download and install any kind of software (web browser-based).

Generally, once all the partakers have done their part in setting up their computers for web conferencing, what's left is for each partaker to type in a few keystrokes, click the mouse button and begin conferencing. Typically, the entire process of setting up a web conference from ground zero will take around 15 minutes for the host and about 10 minutes for each member. After the one-time setup, subsequent meetings will commence in less than 5 minutes for everyone.

Basic web conferencing allows you to "text chat" with any or all of the attendees. If that's not enough, you can use toll-free lines to add voice communication for that all-important clarity of thought. Yes, you read it right. There are companies offering toll-free lines just for conferencing.

But even voice connection can be web-based too. It's possible thru VoIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol. This technology uses the internet, not regular phone lines, as it delivers your voice to one or all participants.

Although web conferencing will never replace face-to-face or mission-critical meetings, you should at least explore its practical uses for you and your organization. Give it a test run and witness the breakthrough efficiency of having that all important collaboration called web conferencing.

Hyperoffice Reveals New Conference System

HyperOffice has done it yet again with the launch of their new online conferencing technology HyperMeeting. In a seemingly a very saturated market HyperOffice has uncovered a good number of holes

In addition to that they've succeeded in solving quite a few annoyances that current web conferencing providers either overlooked or didn't know about. It is an interesting and apparently well thought out move by HyperOffice which it appears they're going to pull off quite remarkably.

Saving Money With Web Conferencing

In today’s busy world, web conferencing is a life saver. If used correctly, it can help you to save not only money, but time (which, in turn, saves money) along with frustration. Web conferencing, when used in the appropriate situations, has been known to help businesses to not only retain their clients, but can also help you to get new clients and may even be a great way to connect with your co-workers across the globe. If you’re looking to use web conferencing but are not convinced with its money saving capabilities, read on.

Limits

Once the internet began becoming more mainstream, and classrooms were starting to fill with the sounds of a dial-up computer connecting, people began wondering what it would take for them to connect directly with another person. Chatting was born, and suddenly it was a lot easier to “speak” to your friend or family member who was across the world. Then businesses began using chat as a way to speak with disgruntled customers or business partners, making it easy to keep things on an even keel.

Designers wanted to go further, but there were limits to what computers could do. The old motherboards and software wasn’t designed to be able to hold a direct connection that was filled with programs, and when it did manage to do it, it couldn’t do it for very long. This frustrated many businesses, and engineers began looking for a way to change the computers so that they would be able to be strong enough to connect directly to a computer across the world in order to handle web conferencing.

Computers Today

Computers today are created with much higher capabilities than computers of yesteryear. Computers in today’s world are designed with extremely high tech capabilities, and are able to do much more than most people ever believed they would be able to do. If you’re in need of web conferencing now, you can choose to do so by purchasing your own server, or you can use an online service such as ShowMyPc.com in order to connect to the computers that you are looking to connect to.

The benefits of using an online host are large. The first, of course, is monetarily. If you were to purchase your own server and were to try to host your own conference, you not only will find yourself having to spend money for programs, but will also find yourself having to spend a ton of money for tech support to give you a hand with setting things up. Using an online program allows you to save money from tech support, and also gives you the opportunity to save money in other ways. Since you don’t have to send your employees on business trips, thanks to web conferencing, you can save airfare, hotel fees, and on gas! Web conferencing is an excellent way to help your business get ahead.

Mikogo Press Release

Perfecting Collaboration: Mikogo Launches Free Screen Sharing Skype Extra

The perfect Web collaboration package is here, with the Mikogo Skype Extra providing free screen sharing to all Skype users worldwide creating a complete and free Web conferencing solution. Available for everyone, Mikogo provides an easy-to-use online meeting tool that works seamlessly and securely in conjunction with Skype, allowing the user to talk and share their screen content at no cost.

Mannheim, GERMANY September 18, 2008 – The world’s free online meeting tool, Mikogo (http://www.mikogo.com) announces its successful partnership to Skype with the launch of the Mikogo Skype Extra, creating the complete solution to free Web conferences. A simple download, with no installations and at no cost, now allows Skype users to collaborate with their contacts via four forms of communication: voice, chat, video, and now screen sharing.

“Regardless of whether it’s for business or private purposes, Skype users now have the complete Web conferencing package without paying a cent,” says Mark Zondler, Co-Founder of Mikogo. “Free screen sharing combined seamlessly with Skype’s free calls, free chat, and free video, really give the Mikogo Skype Extra users the perfect means of Web collaboration.”

While expensive conferencing solutions have satisfied the corporate bodies, the price tag has put them well out of reach for private users. With this in mind, award winning Web collaboration provider, BeamYourScreen, developed Mikogo as a free screen sharing solution. With Mikogo, users can host professional online meetings allowing them to collaborate easily with colleagues, clients, friends or family, while saving time and reducing costs.

It’s easy to understand that anyone operating on a tight budget, such as small emerging businesses or private users, are unable and unwilling to pay hundreds of dollars a year for a conferencing solution. Especially when voice conferencing can require additional costs, and it is here where the Mikogo Skype Extra will shine.

“Our users are able to employ Mikogo and the Skype Extra for consultations, teaching, IT support, picture sharing, university projects, club meetings, and more,” continues Zondler. “They can start a free Mikogo online meeting and invite up to 10 of their Skype contacts to view their screen at no cost.”

Organizing or joining a free Mikogo Skype online meeting is a simple straight-forward process with no registrations, installations, or configurations. Such an easy-to-start application in addition to its user-friendly interface again gives Mikogo that crucial edge over competitor Skype Extras.

The addition of Mikogo’s free screen sharing to Skype could in fact impact on the way people and businesses worldwide go about their correspondence and Internet collaboration in the future. By eliminating travel costs and saving time for its users, Mikogo’s presence will no doubt be felt.

[caption id="attachment_121" align="alignleft" width="208" caption="Mikogo Online Meeting"]

[/caption] Mikogo: Supporting a Community of 50,000 Free Online Meeting Users

Mikogo, the free screen sharing and online meeting tool available for everyone, announces their recent user base milestone of 50,000 users along with an array of service developments. Following confirmation that a new version is soon to be released, Mikogo reports an even higher growth rate than in the past, indicating that the Mikogo Community is on the rise.

Mannheim, Germany September 17, 2008 – With the fastest growth rate ever recorded, Mikogo the free online meeting tool announces its 50,000 user milestone. In just six weeks 10,000 individuals have registered an account with the popular Web collaboration tool, indicating that Mikogo is gaining momentum at an ever increasing rate. However the increase in growth rate is not the only buzz flying around Mikogo, with the announcement and release of several developments to enhance and support the growing user base.

With more and more users registering for the free service, Mikogo is comfortably servicing a global market and keen to further enlarge the Mikogo Community. “It's great to see the user base increase at such a rate, and know that so many people are satisfied with our work,” says Mark Zondler, Co-Founder of Mikogo. “Consequently we wish to cater even further to the Mikogo Community, by providing places for users and interested parties to discuss free screen sharing and show their support.”

The recently released Mikogo Blog is just one example of the growing Mikogo Community, where support for the free screen sharing tool has quickly been expressed within comments. “The new blog has been a great success with many users taking the time to comment and praise our work, as well as providing feedback on what they would like to see introduced in Mikogo's future versions,” continues Zondler. “We're very pleased with how the Mikogo Community is taking form. People are continually subscribing to our news feed, forum registrations are up, and there are always new fans on the Mikogo Facebook page.”

Clearly the Mikogo Community is growing and embracing their favorite free online meeting tool. Mikogo has made an appearance on dozens of blogs and tech websites, with some users even taking the time to record their own video tutorials on using the software. In order to serve such a growing global user base, Mikogo is soon to launch a new website which will later be available in several languages.

However the big announcement that everyone is talking about is when will there be a new version of the software? It was rumored that a new and even better version would be released soon, which was recently confirmed by the Mikogo Team in a blog post last week along with screenshots of the new features. Currently in the stage of beta testing, the new version of Mikogo is bound to enhance the current users' experience even further, as well as appeal to anyone interested in the popular topic of Web collaboration.

The Mikogo snowball has definitely picked up some speed as it rapidly collects new users and makes its presence well-known in the world of Web collaboration. Now with a user base of 50,000 and a growing Mikogo Community, the growth rate can only be expected to continue as Mikogo reaches out to more and more people across the globe.

My Experiment with Search Engine Optimization for Web Conferencing Service Site

I did a small experiment about Search Engine Optimization for web conferencing service sites, that is sites that deal with web conferencing software.

The results were quite unexpected. At the end of the experiment I was left with some important questions. You need to help me find answers.

Is Search Engine Optimization necessary for web conferencing service sites?

Is it useful? Is it necessary? Is it possible? what is the best way to optimize your page and get more traffic to your web conferencing company site?

I have been learning a lot about Google domination and backlinking. I wanted to find out how much of all this is true. If I have a web conferencing company website how do I get it to appear in search results on top of the millions of results?

I did a very small experiment to convince myself what everybody is saying is true. If some of the experts are misled and they are misleading all of us, we will be wasting a lot of time and energy on SEO, the time we should be spending on our site adding quality content and quality web conferencing service.
