I had the opportunity today to present over Live Meeting to a group of programmers all over the country for First Data Corporation on the topic of Threading in .NET.  While I use Live Meeting in some capacity almost every day (multiple times), I have never actually given a presentation over one.  As I tend to do, I had very few slides and almost all “on-the-fly” demos.  Until now, pretty much all of the presentations I've given have been live and in in-person.  It sure makes it easier to see reactions and demeanor.  Online presentations, are by their very nature, are more impersonal and without an audience present it's a little trickier.

Despite the unfamiliarity of the territory, I feel the presentation (though a little rushed due to time constraints) went pretty well and was well received.  I look forward to the opportunity of doing it again in the future.
