Use Video Conferencing for Presentations
Finding that big conference calls aren't providing the communicative power needed to express your complex ideas? If the purpose of a conference call or internet chat is primarily to give a one-way presentation, such as a seminar, then you may want to consider a video conference instead.
Video conferencing over the internet has become cheap and very easy. Computer video cameras and microphones can be picked up at any computer store, and internet video conferencing software such as Microsoft's NetMeeting is free. You can broadcast your presentation to any sized audience, providing that everyone has a broadband internet connection.
A visual presentation and explanation of your material can be a much more effective way to communicate than over a phone, so next time you have to explain yourself to a group give it a whirl and see how much more effective you can be.
