I’ve had the same experiences as you have — “everybody, *please* make sure you log in at least 30 minutes early to figure out how to configure the thing, or I’ll just be giving a speech…” The switching costs are negligent — and I’m not sure there’s much brand loyalty here. But, unless things have changed dramatically since I last looked, they still had the vast lion’s share of this business in their hands. The product may be a ‘tear down’ to industry insiders, but when people talk about web conferencing, they talk about WebEx, don’t they?

I switched to Yugma recently and it does everything I need. It's much easier, and the best part is that the account is free forever. Definately worth looking at. http://www.yugma.com Mathew, I couldn’t agree more. I switched to Yugma recently and it does everything I need.
