• Application Sharing

• Recording
• Webinar Ticketing
• VoIP
• Conference Calling
• Public Profile

Which makes it look quite impressive! Advert driven though, and I don't know what sort of advertising, but it's worth exploring.

MeetingBurner

It says of itself: "Host your own online meeting or webinar.We’ve got everything you need – blazing fast desktop sharing, one-touch recording, free phone bridges, no participant downloads, and even attendee analytics – something you won’t find anywhere else…Get Your Free Account!" Confuses me as to why there's a whole section on credit card details and billing however... In the meantime, it looks fast, easy to use and efficient.

Cloudcasting Cloudcasting is an extremely flexible screen communication system. With a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can make your own ‘broadcast’.
