Webinar Wire

Another Resource For The Web Conferencing Community

Posted by Ken Molay May 20 2008 10:45 PM EDT

Cool Conference Live is sponsoring a site that should be of interest to anyone involved with producing and delivering web seminars or web conferences. It is called Conference Leaders and yes, it's another blog with helpful articles related to conferencing. Why am I calling attention to something that "competes" with this blog and my own webinar blog?

Well, first of all... Helpful information shouldn't be a competitive asset to be jealously guarded. It benefits all of us in the web conferencing industry to see events get more successful and clients get more comfortable and productive in their efforts. That's why Webinar Wire invites guest authors to share the wealth with beneficial information for all. I'm delighted to see additional sources for people to learn from.

But speaking of sources, Conference Leaders has a second benefit that is not immediately apparent at first glance. Halfway down the page is something that looks like a subhead saying: "Resources for Global Professionals." It turns out that this is a link to a second page... A portal to interesting and valuable sites around the web for people researching web conferencing.

You'll find links to stalwarts such as Conferencing News and The Webinar Blog, along with associations that can benefit conferencing professionals, technology roundups, and personal development sites. I'm sure they'll be adding more sites over time, but this is a nice start as a central jumping-off point.

As one of my favorite syndicated movie reviewers from days gone by used to put it: "Joe Bob says check it out!"
