Hello.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but was interested in what kind of web conferencing software people use, if at all, when developing websites. Myself, I work at a commercial CMS company, and have developed a couple of church and personal sites w/Joomla.

At my company, WebEx is used quite frequently for product demos and troubleshooting. WebEx and products of it's ilk let me display my desktop to remote users for demos or getting feedback, or to do impromptu training sessions by displaying a remote user desktop, while doing a VOIP multi-user conference. In the past I've written tutorials and Jing screencasts to document CMS functionality and authoring processes, but have found this approach time consuming and somewhat ineffective... often my end-users have varying technical backgrounds, and as a group are not very proactive about reading documentation, in written, multimedia, or wiki format :).

WebEx is however, very expensive on a non-corporate budget, about $60/month for an annual license.

I've seen a few competitors, ie Glance, and an open source product called DimDim (quirky name), but am familiar with WebEx and feel responsiveness is more important than saving a couple bucks a month. VNC clients or RDC on a network for example, are fine for troubleshooting and remote administration, but not for the usage I've outlined above.

I'd be curious to hear other people's experiences, and/or whether there is a more competitively priced product out there worth considering.

Cheers, Terry
