McDonell Associates Launches Conflab.com, a Free Internet Voice Communication Service Enabling Direct PC to PC Voice, Video and Data Connections Worldwide
Conflab.com Enables Safe Family-Friendly Internet Conferencing Without Requiring the Use of Public Directory Servers, Open Chat Forums or Proprietary Software.
VANCOUVER, CANADA - February 22, 2000 (INB) -- McDonell Associates(tm) launches its free voice, video and data conferencing service at http://www.conflab.com/, enabling cost-free connections anywhere in the world. Conflab.com(tm) integrates tightly with the widely installed and freely available NetMeeting(tm) software to provide a clean, simple to use meeting centre, for users to call each other with the ease and privacy of regular telephone calls.
Conflab.com is designed to ensure total privacy when conferencing. Unlike the established methods for finding people online, Conflab.com does not list users' names and Internet addresses on publicly viewable directories, thereby ensuring that users will not receive unsolicited and unwelcome callers. Conflab.com was founded to address a number of Internet conferencing weaknesses, and offers benefits from the following specific features:
The service is completely private and safe for children to use. Two levels of password protection, as well as secure server support, ensure that nobody can find or contact a user unless expressly invited to do so. Children can safely meet friends and family online without risk of being contacted by strangers.
Conflab.com works independently of the user's type of Internet access. Dial-up accounts with dynamic IP addresses will connect as easily as accounts with static IP addresses.
There is no proprietary software to download and install. Unlike common instant messaging applications, users do not need to download additional software to monitor their online status. This offers the additional privacy of only being contactable when the user chooses to be.
Conflab.com has specifically focused on supporting the most widely available, free conferencing applications. There is no need to spend money on additional conferencing software.
McDonell Associates is a private Internet development partnership, specializing in original content development.
