Voxwire Creates A "Community and Debate Room" Option
April 5, 2003
For Immediate Release
Voxwire has added the ability for customers to set up their
MeetingRoom™ utilizing the auto-queue and talk-timer
to conduct automated discussions and debates. This makes it
possible for content-driven websites such as sports, news,
politics, health, and books to have live voice forums which
are much more fun that text-chat. Schools can conduct intramural
debates without requiring any travel.
The normal use of the MeetingRoom™ allows users to click
in from anywhere in the world and listen to presentations,
view web pages or slides, and use the text chat, depending
on how the Room owner sets up the interaction components.
Guests click into a Community or Debate Room where they will
see the rules and format posted on the view panel. If a person
wants to speak,
they will press
their left Control key which automatically opens their microphone
or places them in line. The auto-queue feature lines participants
up in the order in which they pressed
their key. The organizer can set the talk-timer to 30 or 60
seconds, or however long it is desired to allow the speaker
at any one given time, and when the speaker's
time is over, the next person in line moves to the top of the
list and has the floor. Text chat can be enabled or disabled,
depending on the organizer's choice.
Steve Divnick, VP
of Marketing, predicts that this format will become very popular
political candidates and town hall events. This will
allow candidates
to gain exposure on a large scale without depending on television
stations. Local organizers can give their constituents a voice
with town hall meetings, and the candidate can log in from
wherever they are with some rallying encouragement.
