Santa Claus embraces live Webinar technology to allow children to visit him at his North Pole home

North Pole, Dec. 7, 2009 – Every child should have the opportunity to interact with Santa, but taking 9 reindeer around the world requires time and lots of energy. So what’s green and travels faster than magic reindeer? The Internet! This holiday season Santa is taking his sled to the Web, partnering with InstantPresenter, the innovative developer of full-featured online meeting and presentation services, to host a live Webinar from the North Pole.

At 11 a.m. Pacific time on Saturday, Dec. 19, Santa will broadcast his Christmas message using the InstantPresenter platform, which features high-quality video and is recordable for those that can’t catch the message live. Anyone with access to an internet connection is invited to view the Webinar at www.instantpresenter.com/santa. Santa also created a profile on InstantPresenter’s social network site so he can share a little bit more about himself and his fantastic team.

“I’m always traveling to everyone’s homes, but no one gets to come to mine because it’s so far away,” said Santa Claus.” The Webinar is about as close as you can get to visiting me at the North Pole, and I can’t wait to have you all as my guest! InstantPresenter’s technology allows me to go green, cut back on travel and it gives the reindeer a chance to rest up for all the presents they will be carrying this year. I know gifts, and this is one of the best I have ever received.”

There is no charge to attend Santa’s Webinar, but he does encourage parents and kids to donate money and toys to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to help him reach all good little boys and girls.

InstantPresenter Announces New Features for Enhanced Webinar Delivery

InstantPresenter — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 20:19:46 +0000

June 1, 2009 – Huntington Beach, CA – InstantPresenter.com, a leading provider of web conferencing, video conferencing and webinar service announces new features and upgrades to its service. These new features give greater capabilities to existing customers, allowing them to streamline their webinar delivery and derive further value from their InstantPresenter service. Among the new features are expanded Question & Answer capabilities, a more in depth Polling feature and easier to create Registration Forms and Surveys.

The new “Question & Answer” feature allows webinar producers to collect questions from the audience and easily moderate, filter and share the questions. Online meeting attendees have a simple to use “Ask a Question” text box, where they enter their question for the presenters. Moderators then see all incoming questions, and can quickly assign and mark questions for answering by the presenters. Finally, when a question is ready to be answered, moderators are able to display the question text prominently for the audience to see, and presenters to address. This new feature is different from the existing Text Chat capabilities which allow a free form chat, by providing an easy to use mechanism for structured Q&A sessions.

Existing polling capabilities have been enhanced, by allowing webinar producers to see exactly how each attendee voted. Polls are questions that are given during the webinar to gauge the audience’s response. Now, with the enhanced polling, webinar producers can not only see a vote count and percentage, but have access to reports that show how each attendee specifically voted on each question. These reports are available in the Account Manager Tool, and can easily be exported to Excel or other spreadsheets in the ubiquitous CSV format. This new feature will allow the development of quick and easy online quizzes, where presenters can monitor individual answers.

Finally, webinar production has now been greatly simplified by allowing producers to build registration forms and surveys based on past meetings. Instead of having to create each meeting registration from scratch, online meeting producers can now select prior registration forms from past meetings and copy the registration form settings. The same method can be used to duplicate prior surveys. This new feature will allow webinar producers to easily create meetings based on past meeting settings, resulting in substantial time savings.

“These new features enhance and improve our already powerful web conferencing and webinar services. Customers will have access to these new tools automatically, without any downloads or setups, just like the rest of our software” states InstantPresenter CEO Costin Tuculescu.

As Web-Based Video Conferencing Transforms Community Politics, Southern California Software Firm Leads the Way

InstantPresenter — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:21:24 +0000

Long Beach, CA based monthly political forum “Beer & Politics” establishes an online presence using InstantPresenter.com Web and Video Conferencing service. At home attendees can watch the event through a live webcast, ask questions and engage their local politicians through video conferencing technology.

Huntington Beach, CA – October 13, 2008 — For the past two years, Long Beach residents have met monthly for a political forum called “Beer & Politics”, to share ideas with city officials like Long Beach mayor Bob Foster over a beer. On hand to deliver the September 29 meeting on the Internet via webcast was Costin Tuculescu, CEO and founder of InstantPresenter.com, a web conferencing provider based in Huntington Beach, CA, whose video and web conferencing software is revolutionizing the way business – and now politics – are conducted.

“Politicians are realizing that web conferencing and video conferencing technology can help them extend their reach into their constituents’ homes and allows them to directly interact and take questions,” said Tuculescu, who also serves on the Board of the Long Beach Junior Chamber of Commerce. “Using the interactive chat features, at-home audience members are able to send in questions live, and their questions are answered immediately during the webcast,” Tuculescu said. It’s no wonder, then, that InstantPresenter’s user friendly, browser-based application is quickly gaining new converts – like “Beer & Politics” founder Michael Clements.

“When ‘Beer & Politics’ started, the goal was to give people a fun and comfortable setting to discuss the issues that affect their lives,” Clements said. “With InstantPresenter, viewers are able to interact with civic leaders and other viewers as if they were standing face-to-face, minus the handshake.” KCAL 9′s Suraya Fadel covered the event, illustrating how town hall meetings reduce voter apathy, a trend enhanced by webcasting technology. (For more information, please visit www.beerandpolitics.org ).

Customers of InstantPresenter currently include businesses, individuals, members of Congress and politicians on the campaign trail – and that’s just the beginning. “We are looking to assist other local organizations in extending their reach using InstantPresenter,” said Tuculescu, “such as local city councils bringing their council meetings into the homes of their constituents.” With meetings archived at www.instantpresenter.com for 24/7 on-demand access, anyone can get involved. “InstantPresenter makes it a lot easier for people to feel comfortable about engaging their politicians,” said Tuculescu.

Huntington Beach, CA – August 15, 2008 – InstantPresenter.com, a leading provider of Flash-based web conferencing and video conferencing services, now offers full Mac support for its screen sharing services.

With Macs now holding 7% of the computer market share, being able to present to all of your customers (both PC and Mac users alike) is critical.

Mac updates also include the ability to record web conferencing sessions while using InstantPresenter. Screen sharing, video and audio sessions are all stored on InstantPresenter’s high-speed web conferencing servers, and are always available for viewing and playback.

“We are very excited to embrace the Mac community and provide our extensive feature set to all Mac and Apple users.

PayPal is the leader in online banking with 24% market share of all online payments in the U.S. InstantPresenter PayPal Integration allows presenters to sell access to their webinars, offering a quick and easy way to monetize their content. Product prices are set by the presenter and they receive 100% of the sale and InstantPresenter does not charge a sales commission. InstantPresenter’s PayPal integration makes this process simple, safe and secure with one of the world’s most trusted online banks. InstantPresenter PayPal integration starts at only $39 per month.

Data can be exported and downloaded directly into Excel. Registration Services start at only $29 per month.
