I have tried the free Web conferencing service AnyMeeting a few times now, twice for individual meetings and a few times for small webinars - and I like it.
The service includes screen sharing, application sharing, and text would conferences on the page, much like the service numbers you a monthly fee to get heard of WebEx, a division of Cisco or GoToMeeting, the Citrix.
Sample screen AnyMeetingIn business, we know that it is not no free lunch, and the way you pay for this web meeting sessions in the AnyMeeting model with the agreed is you view on the edge of the screen to run. For some companies, representing a polished image that not must, may, tolerable. But for other small businesses, scraping to get an ad in the margins could a small price to pay to avoid the monthly subscription fee on another.
I know I had a GoToMeeting account for a while, but I use it often enough, to justify the monthly fee. But in just the past couple of weeks I had a few occasions where I was a website design with a client, I with long distance work which discussion, and it was terrible useful for us to can search the site, we were together on the phone. I don't think that they minded that there was a display on the screen at all (this is the Web, friends, it is full of map in 2011).
I kept attracted a few dozen people a Webinar on how to use the Facebook tab Manager plugin for WordPress - not huge, but an event. You see the playback in www.anymeeting.com/davidfcarr (replay is labeled "Test"). Because I for it wasn't loading not I could have probably justified this Webinar at all if it meant signing up for a service, which I had to pay. But there was value to make some contacts and share ideas.
AnyMeeting call, a complete match of the paid services is at least a slight exaggeration. A GoToMeeting feature that I was missed the capability, a conference call number and a voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) option at the same Conference have. With AnyMeeting, you must either all participants on VoIP or all on the phone - the two modes can not be mixed.
I was on some technical issues with my webinar session running, though I'm not sure how many of them I groped for the Service contrary to my own guilt can. On the other hand, the service has since the virtue of no special plug-in the about Adobe Flash. And it has some nice tools to promote your events on social media and email.
Overall I recommend it for all Web conferences with a narrow (or nonexistent) budget to do.
