What is the conferencing software, and why did The River choose it?
The River uses YAPP, which is very similar to the Picospan program used by the WELL and Grex. We chose this conferencing software because it provides the best environment we know of for ongoing, connected, thoughtful computer-mediated conversations between many people, and because it is accessible to anyone with a computer and modem, not just those with new fast modems or state-of-the-art graphics capability.
