What to look for in web conferencing
bears talking
Things are moving along. After twittering and blogging alone, you can now web conference with others. Yes, we know, Skype has been around for a while, but that's not web conferencing as it is now emerging. Now you can conference any number of people, exchange files, whiteboard (not a verb yet, but soon…), record the session, speak, and be seen. Of course, this magnificent attainment of technology will be soon trivialized by the xxx merchants, but it will be nonetheless a major step forward on how we interact and conduct business. If the topic interests you, and it should, here's an article that will help you navigate the uncharted waters of web conferencing.

PowerPoint presentations: quick step-by-step guide in PDF format


Corporate America depends almost entirely upon PowerPoint® presentations to conduct meetings, exchange information, communicate with the public, the media, and even the government. It is so widely used that its value is taken for granted, yet small and medium-sized companies would do well to take a second look at this work horse.

The PDF document you can download here should help you familiarize or re-familiarize yourself with this rich and powerful program.

Some of you may recall the original WebPR Press Release Primer, first posted in 1996 and the subject of considerable attention. We have updated the contents and we have reissued it. Now Free!

If you're into online meetings, but need all your communications encrypted, and maybe recorded, see what AdriaComm has to offer.

Trademark and logo design. A valuable resource from Cook Creative, not only for logos, but also for all creative services.

...and speaking of creative, you can see a collection of oils and watercolors here, by California artist Mike Eramdjian...

 

Open Discourse blog

This blog is attached to WebPR.com, but its scope is wider than marketing communications - it is communications. The idea is to explore the many facets of communications as they apply to business and to personal life. Whether we like it or not, we have stumbled into a connected world. We take our work home, and we use work computers for personal tasks. Remember when a telegram was the fastest way to communicate with anyone in the world? If you're young enough you probably don't - and you're probably not sure what the fax is all about. In any event, the world of communications is the topic for this Discourse.

Open Internet Forum

Here is a forum where you can express opinions, present facts, recommend solutions. The idea is to cover some of the topics and issues not discussed elsewhere. The forum targets marketing people in small and medium size companies. Topics range from starting a web site to various aspects of marketing communications, writing, presentations, and others. It also provides a repository for press releases.Check-out the Open Forum

Here are some of the telltale signs:

  1. The release goes on for page after page. 500 words or less should do the job.
  2. Adjectives are everywhere: beautiful, superior, incredible… press releases are about facts.
  3. Grammatically incorrect. Does a period come before or after the 'close quote' mark?
  4. Exclamations, bold type, different fonts…
  5. Missing or inadequate contact information.
  6. Lack of focus - what is new?
  7. Fragrant sales pitch, no news.
