Lynne,
What you are suggesting is very similar to what we will be doing on a very small scale at the mixer using Skype to talk to Des Walsh in Australia and Scott Allen in Texas on speakerphone. Of course, we will not be talking to both at once. I have participated in Yahoo conference calls. One minute you are online, the next minute you are off. I hope the Yahoo upgrade fixed that problem. I think Yahoo purchased Dialpad. I personally think Skype works better than Yahoo for VOIP calls.
I know Althea Garner likes to use The Meeting Place software for her video conferences. I am looking at a software product called Persony. It is actually recommended for web conferences on the Skype site. I find that somewhat strange given the vSkype is now Festoon. What is the benefit of using a paid web conferencing service like Persony when you can get a free video conferencing service with Festoon?
Festoon is supposed to be good for up to 200 people at the same time. With Festoon you are actually looking at the desktop of the presenter. With Persony, only the person who purchases the software needs to upload it. Everyone else simply visits his website to see the presentation. I think that is pretty amazing. But, I do not know if that really trumphs Festoon. What do you think? Would you like to try Persony with me sometime to see what it is like?
