GoToMeeting works well. The screen is clear and the lag time is minimal. FreeConference SharePlus is just as good as GoToMeeting and it's free right now (BETA). CD's web conference is the worst by far, very pixelated screen and lag time is terrible.

We no longer use Microsoft Live Meeting for our web conferencing because their client just went from 5 Mbyte (LM2005) to 16 Mbyte (LM2007), and the performance/reliability became poor after the "upgrade" (sounds like Vista ;-). While we were happy with Microsoft Live Meeting 2005, their 2007 version became our very last choice. We needed a lightweight client with not too many controls for our attendees (which would just be a distraction), and the ability to share individual applications, share the mouse, and change the active presenter (i.e., switch to viewing the attendee's screen). We settled on a product from TurboMeeting (www.turbomeet.com), which is a hardware device that we host at our office. You can try their software for free at http://www.gomeetnow.com/. For teleconferencing, we use Infinite Conferencing (http://www.infiniteconferencing.com/). There's teleconferencing bundled free with TurboMeeting, but it's first-come/first-served (unless scheduled in advance). Both solutions work very well though. Deciding who gets to talk is never a problem-- it just works out naturally (and unlike live gatherings, there are no side conversations possible ;-) For internet-based calling, Skype works great, too.

The service is hosted for the customer and works with all browsers and O/S without the need to install software. This is why our service works for larger companies with many potential users. Simply to roll-out ! Thanks for taking the time! Best Joe Hi Katie – just an additional few corrections we build and brand the room for our customers.
