Re-released web conferencing system
by Jeffrey Sloe
Companies can create loyalty to their customers through building communities, and some of these communities are being created through web based conferencing systems. There has been an increase in people attending or running web conferencing trainings and seminars over the past year. Why is that?BUSINESS WEEK/Harris Poll, 57% of new Internet users repeatedly go to the same sites. They are not surfing to other sites like in the past. And of the 89% of Netizens who use E-mail, nearly one-third consider themselves part of an online community. ''Community and communications is the next big wave on the Internet. We are at the beginning of an explosion,'' says Andrew Busey, chairman and chief technology officer of ichat, Inc., an Internet startup in Austin, TX. ichat, Inc. develops software for online chats.People want to be part of a community. Belonging, or being a part of something, is important to the majority of people. It seems people are looking for a community that they fit into, somewhere they can share their own interests with others; just take a look at how fast MySpace.com has grown, and one of the newer rages, MyTube.com.It's not just individuals; corporations are also seeing the value in online communities. It used to be that businesses could promote their products from their web site, but not so today. They need to keep their new products and innovations in front of their customers. People want to have interaction with other people.A new study by Yankelovich Partners Inc., a marketing research firm, found 63% of people online say they won't buy anything over the Web until there's more human interaction involved. Garden Escape Inc. found that out fast. CEO Clifford A. Sharples launched their web site in March, 1996, primarily as an online nursery with everything from 294 different kinds of roses to heirloom cherry tomatoes. But Sharples was soon inundated with emails and questions. Three months ago, he did something about it, adding chat and forums on regional gardening issues, such as one for the Pacific Northwest. The result: Visitors spend twice as much time on the site now--20 minutes. And sales? They're growing at 40% a month, boosted by orders from chat participants, who spend an average $100 an order, vs. $60 from others. ''We thought of ourselves as more of a store,'' says Sharples. ''We underestimated how important community would be.''So just what is a Web community? For now, most of these online gatherings are still in their infancy, but are continuing to grow daily, just like a newborn baby. They are not being built overnight, however they are growing as people get together and establish, week by week, their interests and their needs. That makes their natures as diverse and mixed as the neighborhoods in Los Angeles and New York. Web conferencing systems are providing a way for businesses and customers to stay in touch, and interact, with one another. The biggest problem in the past was the cost of these web based conference systems. Enter Inetekk, and VereConference!Inetekk, a system solutions provider, developed a state-of-the-art web conference system over the past 3 months, which guarantees to deliver what the Google community has been looking for.
