I'm a computer services manager working in local government, so I am probably not part of the target audience for this book.

This book will give maximum benefit to a non-technical person who knows nothing about on-line collaboration. The book is effective in giving a survey of the conferencing products and services available on the market at the time of publication.

Here is my description of my "wish list" for a book on Web Conferencing:

1. Target audience: Information systems professionals
2. Detailed coverage of network issues involved with Web conferencing, including bandwidth, infrastructure and security issues.
3. Cost structure for each product reviewed.
4. Some coverage of manipulating low cost configurations to provide high levels of service. (How to do more with less).
5. Professional, rather than chatty, tone.

Like many people looking for a book or information on web conferencing I was frustrated in my search by the surprising lack of available material. Needless to say I was thrilled when my search ended having come across "The Web Conferencing Book..." and was happier still when I found the book to be as an informative and engaging read as it is. Extremely comprehensive, The Web Conferencing Book answered virtually all of my questions on the subject - and even provided me with information I didn't even know I need to be aware of. I can't recommend this book enough for people needing to know more on the subject as it will undoubtedly have an immediate and highly positive impact on your web conferencing abilities and overall knowledge. The authors have provided us with an amazingly valuable resource and I'm now offically on the lookout for future technology books by them.

This is a great source of information for those new to web conferencing. A must read for anyone seriously considering using web conferencing facilities.

The fact that it has an Index was a big plus.

When someone gave me a copy of this book, I wondered why. Web conferencing was a topic that ranked very low in my need-to-know about reading list, but a sense of obligation to the giver made me glance into it.
Well, one glance led to another and what I found throughout its slightly more than two hundred pages was precise technical information clear enough for even a layperson to follow and best of all, the text was enlivened with humor. In fact, I kept visualizing a conference of esoteric stand-up comics laying out steps that will inevitably lead to the next way of doing big (or small) business.
Although this book's intrinsic value is as a specific guide to web conferencing, different kinds of companies would do well to demystify their functions in a similar way.

This is the most comprehensive book about web conferencing that I've ever seen. I looked around a lot and was unable to find a book, any book, that explains web conferencing in such detail. How it evolved, what it can do, what the differences are between the various products out there in the world and how to successfully introduce it into my organization. I highly
recommend this book for anyone who's interested in the technology and what it can do for them at work or at home.

I found the book to be highly useful in conferencing.

AT LAST! A definitive, concise, readable, understandable, helpful book on this subject that has literally changed the way I communicate and network in my business. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to the authors!!

The world can be divided into two groups: those that get it, and those that don't. Real estate is a very competitive industry -- you not only have to be "with it," you have to be "ahead of it." This book is a must have for the business person -- in this case, realtor -- who needs and wants the cutting edge advantage.

I work in a non-technology based field, yet found this book to be a great tool for inspiring some new marketing ideas.
