What is the Story With Online Video Conferencing

Posted by thegeek | Posted in Tech | Posted on 30-10-2009

Online video conferencing is much more than simple video chatting. Not only does it allow you to talk with others by video and give video presentations, a good conferencing software package gives you the capability to collaborate and share files.

For example, if you want to run a project by your boss, rather than emailing him the file and waiting for him to email you back with requested revisions, you can work together in real time through an online conference. Online video conferencing software lets the two of you work on a document together and both of you will see the updates instantly on your monitors even if you are a world apart.

This online collaboration can take place between two computers, or many. When two people simultaneously work on a document it is called point-to-point document sharing and if more than two share a document, it is called multi-point collaboration. When shopping for online video conferencing software, make sure it has multi-point capability if you have several employees and may need to share files with multiple people.

File transfer is another feature of online video conferencing software. This allows files to be sent from one computer to all other members of the conference. This is useful for distributing digital handouts for a meeting, or sending a group collaboration file to all participants when the document is complete.

Whiteboard is another useful tool that the best online video conferencing software packages include. It is a digital version of the wall whiteboard and lets you make diagrams and notes during your presentation that are transmitted to everyone on the conference. The whiteboard can also take snapshots and save them as graphics files for later reference.

These features of online video conferencing are what make it such a valuable tool for businesses, much more so that just plain video chat would be. However, video chatting does play an important role in distance communication, and all good software packages include the ability for video chat too.

The option can be set for all conference members to see only the speaker, or the screen can be split among several participants at once. Be sure your online video conferencing software has multi-user video if you need the split screen features for multi-participant video chat.

There are many online video conferencing software packages to choose from due to the high demand. The prices vary so it pays to shop around and compare features offered against the price.

You may be able to save money and time by using online video conferencing software through a web-based provider. When you do this, you do not need to install any software at all since it is remotely hosted. Using web-based software has its advantages. You can call into your conference using any computer that is available, even from a cell phone that has internet capabilities.

As long as you have access to a browser, you can participate in online video conferencing. Of course, if you want to communicate by video, you will need access to a webcam as well. Many web-based software providers offer a free trial of their services so you can get a taste of online conferencing and decide which software features are for you. Once you know what you need, you can purchase a package tailored for you so you don’t pay for features you won’t use.

The drawback to using web-based online video conferencing software is that you must pay a monthly fee that can surpass the cost of buying the software after a few months of use. Whether you choose to install your own software or utilize a web-based service is a matter of convenience versus cost since the features offered remain the same.

3G and 4G for No Contract Verizon Wireless Phones

Posted by thegeek | Posted in Tech | Posted on 30-10-2009

Verizon Wireless Phones come in a variety of makes and models, most running on 3G technology even as the carrier is busying installing their 4G network. BlackBerry Cell Phones for Verizon are among the most popular of brands available, with a feature set that defines it as, more properly speaking, a smartphone.

2G technology is the most widely used network technology for mobile phones. More than 80% of cellular phone users around the world use 2G technology at present. One disadvantage that 2G technology has compared to 3G is that data rates are limited – it is relatively slower than 3G. Lower data transfer speed means slower music and video downloads, problems when making a video conference call, or long waits for sending/receiving large media messages.

That is the main reason for the development of newer network technologies such as 3G that offer a data transfer speed of up to 2Mbps (2 Mega Bits per second). Anyone using a 3G phone knows that that is far from being true; in fact, it almost never exceeds 384Kbps, at most.

A new technology being developed these days, 4G, will supposedly allow data transfer speeds as high as 100Mbps (50 times faster than today’s 3G!) outdoors, and a blasting 1Gbps indoors.

So what are the main features of 4G technology?

- Wireless internet with a bandwidth much wider than the 2G or the 3G – 100 MHZ.
- Much higher data transfer speed – up to 1Gbps.
- Video conference calls – with more than 2 callers, and due to the faster data transfer rates, less problems; also, will not get stuck as often as it does with 3G.
- Improved security features to prevent frauds and theft.
- On account of the wider bandwidths, data transfers will be relatively cheap

There are not enough details about 4G technology to compare with other technologies. Without a doubt it will be better, faster, and probably cheaper, but all users would have to get the new devices, meaning compatible devices (which probably aren’t going to be cheap), and wait for the new networks and antennas that will go with this newest technology.

Anyway, NTT DoCoMo, the Japanese company working on devloping 4G technology in association with HP, estimates that 4G services will be launched (in Japan only) somewhere between 2010-2016, and it will probably take a couple more years after that for it to get to the United States so that we still have plenty of time to adjust and get ready.


This article on 3G and 4G was written by Paul Wise. Paul has used BlackBerry Cell Phones for Verizon for years and would recommend CellKraze.com to anyone looking for No Contract Verizon Wireless Phones without the contract.

Use Article Writing and Article Directories Advantage

Posted by thegeek | Posted in Tech | Posted on 30-10-2009

You may even want to consider creating your own list of 5 to 10 of your favorite directories and submit to them. Rewriting your article a little each time you submit it has become a good idea. There is so much emphasis being placed on duplicate content that there really is no reason to chance losing the value of an article because you submit the same one over and over to several different directories.

Another important point is how you submit you article. Article directories are very easy to get along with if you play by their rules. They want to publish your articles, especially if you write with a fresh, unique style and provide content that is timely.

If you use private label right articles you need to spend some time and rewrite those as well. Although PLR articles may only be used by a few hundred publishers a month it still is not unique content. To make it unique consider changing the primary keyword and other keywords accordingly. You can re-order anything written in a list style. It is a good idea to change phrases.

When you are done you want to see and article that does not resemble the one you started with. This will include changing the title and making sure your first and last paragraph are different for sure.

An even better idea is to use PLR articles for ideas and then write and article in your own style. This does not mean rewrite the article at all. You are writing an original article in your words and it ends up being a brand new fresh article that you can be completely confident will never be considered duplicate content.
Marketing your business by writing and submitting articles is a great way to build credibility and to drive traffic to your website or blog. As long as you write a quality article you will get readers for it if you submit your article to the right places. This means finding the best article directories and submitting it to those. Let’s look closer at how to use your articles and article directories to your benefit.

There are literally thousands of article directories, but that does not mean you will get much benefit from many of those. Submitting to article directories that have a PR3 or higher is a good place to start. Use this as the cut off and you will increase your link popularity and increase the popularity of your website in the eyes of the search engines.

Google Social Search: What lies beneath?

Posted by thegeek | Posted in Tech | Posted on 30-10-2009

Last week, Google has announced its experimental “Google Social Search” service for providing personalized social data in Web 2.0 Summit. Now, the service is available for its users. In contrast to Microsoft’s Bing-based Twitter search, the new search tool from Google will make use of users’ contacts from different services and other information from your contacts to build up a network, for example Twitter, FriendFeed, Flickr, data from Google readers and other web based social content.

What’s new in the Google Social Search?

At present, the service is a part of Google Labs and is not permitted by default. Users have to visit the company’s experimental labs page and click the key to “join the experiment.” After joining, users can start checking their social information, which will be displayed at the bottom of the search results.

 
Users can filter the social information by selecting “options” and can add opinions from friends and others to search engine results on products. All such information is collected from the Google profile, which is an easy-to-create page about one self online. However, users have to create the Google Profile and personally add various details so that Google can pick and build users’ social identity. Doing this, users authorize Google to use the profile for future searches.

 
The company also said that the Google Social Search will also use the information present within users’ Google Chat buddies and Google Reader account to construct its result. It is reported that all the content in the search is publicly shared, and user can always edit or remove any services from his Google Profile.

 

Why Google Social Search?

According to various analysts, Google, Facebook and other websites are facing billions of data queries daily and to distribute them is quite difficult. Google Social Search will provide a fundamental need for real-time information and help users to have quick results. Analysts suggest that the new search tool has the potential to make social networking more useful.

For example, if a person types “India”, the new tool provides all the relevant content created by friends from the country. But, user must have a Google Account, a Google Profile and friends listed as Google Contacts. However, the company has not disclosed that how many people have so far signed upto try out Social Search and is there any limit for the number?

The company also confirmed that Google finally signed deal with Twitter to include tweets in its search index as a way to improve access to real-time information.

 

Google Music Search

Besides Social search, Google has also introduced its “Music Search”. The company joined hands with Web services LaLa and MySpace’s iLike to enhance its penetration in the music industry by offering various music lovers to explore and buy songs on the Internet.

It is also reported the search giant has also partnered with Pandora, iMeem and Rhapsody to insert links for various music sites so that they can offer the desired music information to the consumers.
