Top Web Conferencing Options

DimDim, I recommend them!
- They are free and great overall to get you started.
- They do have a conference line that sometimes echos at times.
- Free unlimited conference line minutes, you can’t beat that!
- Unlimited free logins!
- The record feature never seemed to work for me.
- No downloads, no addon installs!
GoToMeeting, I recommend them!
- $49.00 per monthly for 1 account.
- $39.00 if paying annually, $468.00 per year for 1 account. Up to 15 people allowed.
- The BEST conferencing phone feature, very easy.
- The is a small download when presenting, so that is a downside.
- A very good service overall BUT 120 minutes is the max amount per month on the conference line (toll free line or fetch feature.) 6 cents per minute adds up! They should make this unlimited for paying users.
- They have many price options.
- The record feature never seemed to work for me.
- Great Skype integration.
- $49 per month.
- Per pay annually $39 per month.
Feel free to let me know of any others and I’ll include them in this blog post.
