Jared, I've recently configured WebHuddle. I know that it works, but its still *very* beta. I'd say that its going to be a great product, however. The problem doesn't lie with sharing the desktop or recording the screen so much as it relies on bandwidth for those who'd like to listen/view. There is one other problem though and that is that the presenter has to solve the problem of connecting to this system. In this case, that means they must invoke a java application (IIRC) as well. Although this problem isn't insurmountable, I find it a hassle and an annoyance that the presenter has to do anything of the sort. It takes too much time to have them set that up when I could just set up vnc or video their laptop. Don't get me wrong, I love these ideas. I want to implement as many of them as I can, but we need to make sure they're feasible and cost-effective too. Since this is provided for free, I hope you'll understand that we'll have many technical issues to work out and we sure appreciate the input.
