That is a GREAT post on conferencing, which is really gaining speed in the market. I can recommend a great conferencing guide for newbees to use when figuring out how to get started. The “Quick Start Guide for Web Conferencing”, which I got on Amazon.com, got me up and running in about 25 minutes:

http://www.amazon.com/Web-Conferencing-Quick-Start-Guide/dp/1448649781/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250795732&sr=8-1

I read that the http://www.webconferencingcouncil.com had a non-technical relative of equipped with a a Dell E6400 with Windows XP, complete with built-in camera & microphone test this book to see if it was truly a quick start. This relative was able to start a multi-point meeting in 17 minutes, was able to share her desktop and present an online presentation (Microsoft PowerPoint) in under 25 minutes, and even started using the voting and whiteboarding features within 30 minutes – all of it witnessed but uncoached. I was a little bit faster but I am more technical than most.

I’d like to add iLinc Web & Video Conferencing to that list of providers. Our Green Meter (www.ilinc.com/greenmeter) is built into our web conferencing interface and measures the CO2 emissions avoided (in addition to the money saved) by meeting online rather than in person. Additionally, our unlimited multi-person video adds a real face-to-face component to online meetings.

I’ve been a huge fan of Audio and Web Conferencing for many years. It almost seems strange that it took a recession to get some companies to move forward on this time saving, green technology.
