This enables all subscribers to see information about another user's online "presence." This presence detection information is available in both the subscriber's own personal on-screen "Contacts" list, and in the general on-line "Services Directory."

"This makes communicating much easier," stated Peter J. Moriarty, president and founder of FaceToFaceMeeting. "Our subscribers can immediately see which of their business colleagues, family or friends are on-line with FaceToFaceMeeting at any given time," he added.

The FaceToFaceMeeting "Presence Detection" feature indicates if a subscriber is on-line and available for a video call ... if they are currently on a video call with other subscribers ... if they wish not to be disturbed ... or if they are no longer on-line.

"This feature saves time and money, a critical element for businesses concerned about efficiency and productivity," Moriarty concluded.

Interested parties are encouraged to visit www.FaceToFaceMeeting.com. Free trials of the Consumer product are available on line or by contacting FaceToFaceMeeting directly for a free trial of the Business Service.
