Even though they can be easily assimilated and mistaken, the concepts of “net meeting” and “web conference” are not the same thing. Yes, it is true that they both have as their basis the same functioning principles, rules and techniques, but while a net meeting is more like a better alternative for programs through which you can communicate with your beloved ones and simultaneously to see them, a web conference is used for business meetings, as a way of facilitating the virtual encounter between business partners.

If you enjoy seeing the person you are talking to live, then a net meeting is the solution for you! Net meetings offer the very tempting option of having sound too, unlike a web conference – that still remains the best solution to make a good presentation of your products and to see the reactions of your potential business partners live – that are used more in businesses. The concept of a net meeting has started something that some time ago seemed impossible. This new possibility of seeing and talking to someone over such a long distance is starting to find a lodgment even in the minds of those that are not so experimented in computers.

Soon everyone across the world will start to benefit from net meetings and to realize that this is the future of PC-to-PC communication all around the globe. I consider that net meeting is the best solution for all of us who want to know people from other countries beyond just IM and maybe to communicate with people that you already know, but are for some reason out of reach or are just gone in business trips. This type of meeting is a lot more different than IM because you can actually see the person you are talking to and you can get to know that person better by the way that he/she talks and behaves.

The new idea of a web conference taking place without any of the attendees having to download at least one software item… it sounds at least revolutionary. In our days this is an idea that has already been put into use. Only one browser can be used to start a meeting and all kind of platforms can attend, from Iphones to Linux laptops and even Unix workstation. If you have ever hosted such a conference, then you probably know the problems that usually occur and that eventually can lead to a major disaster.

A web conference is used to conduct live different presentations or meetings over the Internet. The term specifically refers to live or synchronous meetings. In such a conference, each and every single attendee sits as her or his own PC and is connected to other participants through the Internet. There are two possibilities of attending such a conference: through an application downloaded on the computer of each participant or a web-based application where all the participants have to do is to enter a URL or a website meeting address and then they can enter the live meeting or conference.
