Kolabora Live! Launches Buyers Review: First Round to Cover Live Presentation Tools Integrating Video and VoIP

Kolabora.com, Robin Goods new online resource facilitating direct exchange between end users and the online collaboration, Web conferencing, and live presentation industries, launches a new series of free live collaborative events called Buyers Review. The events bring together two or more similar technologies, allowing participating users and potential buyers to best evaluate which are the better matching solutions for their live presentation, online collaboration or conferencing needs. First round is devoted to new live presentation tools integrating video and VoIP.

(PRWEB) April 20, 2004 --At Kolabora Live! Buyer's Review the technologies showcased are personally selected and reviewed live by Robin Good, an independent new media technologies expert. The selection criteria adopted include ease of use, trial access, immediate availability, and openness from the company to receive direct feedback from its potential buyers. The tools showcased are selected also on the basis of having similar characteristics, catering to identical audiences, and/or being designed to address specific tasks.

The free event is designed to provide a full interactive session with the participants who can ask direct questions via VoIP to the presenter and to the representative of the technologies being showcased.

In the premiere session the focus is on live presentation technologies which allow to deliver Powerpoint presentations online while talking and being seen live from the session participants.

The Kolabora Live! Buyers Review event is an excellent opportunity for conferencing companies to showcase their best technologies in front of an interested audience of potential buyers and institutional adopters. It is also a unique occasion for end users to finally discover facts from fiction (marketing materials).

Robin Good is also the author of the (SOHO) Official Guide To The Best Web Conferencing And Live Presentation Tools, the only online guide specifically focusing on emerging cost-effective alternatives to classical enterprise solutions like WebEx, Microsoft LiveMeeting (Placeware), Centra (and those many other systems based on a per-minute/per-user billing approach). The Guide is now made up of over 1000 pages, 800 color illustration and the best tools in this category.

Access is by subscription and premium subscribers can request an on-demand, and up-to-date PDF version of the Guide.

More information about the Guide, including free immediate access to all of the main sections is available here: http://tinyurl.com/802v
