The world has really gotten smaller after the origin of internet. We can sit in Nepal and shop at Malaysia; we can have chat and play games with people who are in the opposite corner of the world; banking, finding loan, payment, receipt, the list goes on of what we can do with over internet.

Conference call is one of the technologies that have become possible due to internet (VoIP). The beauty of a Conference call is that with it you don’t have to be physically present in a meeting. You can be somewhere else and still participate actively in a meeting or a presentation. Video Conference the best but can be quite expensive due the equipments needed whereas just Audio Conference I think is enough to have a regular conferences or meetings.

There is no need for any headaches with filling up of forms and registrations with it, so it’s very easy. Its basic service has a capacity of up to 12 people but some want a little more, a little bit advance service like for a dedicated and reliable conference call service for hosting regular meetings. Conference Genie Plus is just what will fulfill this requirement. It is aimed at organizations and individuals who frequently host conference calls and are looking for a professional and hassle free service. You’ll have a personal pin code access key. So, only people you provide the number can enter your room. The capacity of up to 100 callers per room and you don’t even need to book or reserve your conference in advance to use the service.

Just a week ago I think I wrote about the benefits of conference calls and how it has given a new dimension to gossiping with friends who live far away but still remain in our heart. Well, the popularity has really grown over the years and nowadays most meetings and training programs are held from remote places via conferencing. Most popular for these sorts of long distance meeting and training programs is the Video Conferencing as you can even see what the participants are doing or what they are trying to show you. After all it’s easy to put things together or describe visually rather than just speaking. It’s just like the feeling of face to face communication and everybody knows that there’s nothing more efficient than a face to face communication. There’s not much that you need for video communication actually. A PC with a dedicated broadband connection, a mike and a webcam is all you need as your video conferencing equipment. If you want more i.e. if you want to have a high-definition quality video communication then you might want to take service from some company that is providing such service over a dedicated broadband connection. There’s no problem on that whatsoever.

One of those companies that I personally found attracted towards is Life Size that really delivers on the promise of video conferencing. With it you don’t need to replace your broadband at all. They work on your existing broadband network with their high definition video system to provide a striking telepresence experience at a price that is affordable and accessible to everyone.

Everybody knows that Internet is the most popular means for chit-chats. I see many kids and teenager hanging around over the internet all day long just chatting with unknown people and trying to make friends. But I’m not saying that all chats are gossips; some are very serious talks too, like business related stuffs and others. Anyways, something chat services are not just enough. You need to talk in real-time to sort out some serious matters with a number of people. You may need to conduct a training program or a meeting for some specific purpose but the participants may be far away. The best option that the modern technology has for us is the facility of Conference Calls.

“A conference call is a telephone call in which the calling party wishes to have more than one called party listens in to the audio portion of the call.” - Wikipedia

A Conference can be set up in such a way that the called party is just allowed to listen to the call or can also be allowed to participate during the call. It may be an Audio Conference, Video Conference or even Web Conferences (where presentations or documents are shared thru the internet). So, now we can stay at our home and conduct a training programs or meetings with people who are in remote places. All thanks to Conference Calls.
