Just came across this teleconference facility as well which is free for up to 250 callers http://www.thebasementventures.com/.

Just like to say I love webinars. ie. seminars you can participate in from home. I can login from the comfort of my own home with a glass of wine at the ready and soak up the information being presented. When a presenter refers to a website, I can go straight there and quickly check it out and bookmark it for later reference. Taking notes is quicker by typing them straight into a document which I can easily file with other learning opportunities and refer back to.

Unusually, Australians who are normally quick adopters of new technology haven’t taken to webinars as quickly as you might expect. A curious phenomenon. There are all sorts of topics covered by these webinars ranging from e-zine marketing to copywriting to exploring social networking for not for profit organisations to tips and tricks with Microsoft Word.  The technology to make it happen also varies. Two examples are GoToWebinar and Microsoft Live Meeting both of which offer a free 30 day trial.

Some you need to call and login, some are totally via the web some are just phone in (not sure if this really is a webinar, maybe it is a phoneinar!). Networking World has some webinars on networking and copywriting coming up.

Would love to hear your thoughts on webinars. Have you participated in a webinar? Have you used this technology to connect with your network or your customers? If so, what technology have you used?
