This also makes old discussions available as an information resource. Keeping track of each user's place in all topics of discussion, Motet enables users to automatically pick up where they left off every time they log on. A personalized list of conferences lets users focus on the subjects that interest them with a minimum amount of navigation. These features make it easy to participate in several discussions at once, to keep up with everything that is said, and to take as much time as one needs to formulate thoughts on a subject, without the tedium of managing, saving, deleting, and making decisions about email. The conversation runs itself.
Participants can read and respond with only a few mouse clicks.
Bryan Higgins and Leha Blaney, Motet developers, brought their years of experience from conferencing at the famous WELL, of the San Francisco Bay Area, to the design of Motet. Inspired by the WELL model, Motet brings the best of traditional UNIX-based conferencing together with several new features that the developers found would add usability and value to Motet. The result is a solid system, built to run and stay fast, even on the Web, with more value-adding features than any other system available. Businesses can reach more clients when they hear what those clients are looking for. Educators can provide their services to more students, regardless of location or schedule.
