Last week I posted about webconferencing - particularly WebEx and ReadyTalk pricing. I had a couple of people post about GoTo meeting (thanks Doug and Bo). I have been a participant in GoTo meetings before and it works well. I really like their clear flat pricing too.
Interestingly enough I had a sales/marketing post by a webconferencing company called Yugma. I hadn’t heard of them so I went over to their site unsure of what to find. I was pretty impressed by what I saw. Their pricing starts at $9.99 per month for up to 10 participants. They even have a free version, which they said is ad-based. But over the weekend I gave it a try and I did not see any advertisements. I did have to install Java runtime, which frankly is no different than having to install something (ActiveX control?) from WebEx. Overall I have to give Yugma two thumbs up. I have not tried a live, client conference yet. So I will let you know if I run in to any issues there.
