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.
In a similar vein as the name of the last suggestion, have a look at:
