Webcasting Your Class Reunion

Webcasting your class reunion is an outstanding idea whose time has come! Fortunately, the technology available to do this is within reach of anyone with a webcam or digital camcorder and a microphone, and a high-speed Internet connection. Since most reunions are held at hotels or other banquet facilities, a broadband Internet is likely available.

Imagine how appreciative classmates who can’t attend the reunion (especially those that live out of the area) will be when they can open their web browser and type in an address that you give them, and there is a live Internet broadcast of their class reunion. Not only that, but viewers can chat right on the same page as the broadcast, and classmates can even phone in to the reunion and say hello!

In addition, the webcast can be private or public, so that anyone around the world may view it. And when the reunion is over, the webcast can be saved so that people can view it in the future at any time.

Yes, it sounds like it would cost a fortune and have a steep learning curve, but the truth is, it’s easy enough for nearly anyone to set up, and outside of the needed tools that were mentioned above, the cost is absolutely free. Meaning, no web hosting costs, no bandwidth costs, and no data storage costs.
