This is the way of the future in our lives as we know it. Back in the mid to late 90's we did see a spate of broadcasts to launch new software products. Not sure if many of you got to see Bill Gates Launch NT but it was a similcast and we all stood in awe. Well we can do that on our desktop now and with the advent of VOIP and Open Source technologies like DimDim we can do it for free.

We obviously need to get used to the Social implications which are brought about by such mediums and we will trip up along the way. No one needs to be ashamed not to have used a particular technology. I often do broadcasts to board rooms where the organisers have never done this before. I have a standard e-mail template which I now send out which sets out step by step what needs to be in the room. Often its still better to dial into countries where the broadband is not that broad so to speak and only use the Internet for the presentation but that will all change in the future.
How comfortable are you with this as a way forward?
