Dan, Great stuff! I like the idea of desktop sharing with two-way audio. That could perhaps provide us with a way to include remote participants in our local users group meetings.
Of course, all these technologies are only useful if they actually work, and that is mainly why I was initially focused on iChat/iSight -- just to see if it does... It sounds like you've had good experiences with GoToMeeting, so let's ask the rest of the list: What conferencing/sharing product have people found to be effective for desktop sharing and/or videoconferencing? Purely via the internet, of course -- no dedicated T1 lines. GoToMeeting? iChat? NetMeeting? WebEx? Something else? Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist .
