There's no question in the near future more and more meetings will be held online. Online meetings come in a variety of guises: the webinar, the virtual meeting, the net meeting, webex etc. There's enough variety to assume that online meetings are now well and truly establishd. But change is also a constant.
We've heard scepticism about how deeply into the virtual you have to go to be effective. There are fans of Webex and its competitors, like gotomeeting, who won't venture into Second Life. There are Second Life advocates who are already progressing into virtual events.
At the same time the webinar format has been generally accepted. So the world of online meeetings, net meetings, web conferencing, call it what you will, is at the same time well established and in a period of transformation.
As the web evolves from web 1.0 to web 3.0 - the 3D internet - we anticipate more attention to virtual meeting spaces and virtual events. How the domain shakes down - between high cost video conferencing and ultra low cost virtual meetings, we have yet to see. But the purpose of online meetignsis to track those developments and provide a source of continuous news.
