But I particularly like <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/breeze">Macromedia Breeze</a>. For about a year now I am fascinated about the various infotainment breeze presentations that are spread around Macromedia.com for almost all subject. I think it's a real benefit to enable you visitors to view presentations and have a truely multimedia experience instead of just having them read text. <br /> <br />Now I have requested a <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/breeze/index.cfm?event=trialall&account-template-id=16994945">trial account </a>for Macromedia Breeze and I must say that I a quite impressed. It's not that you could not accomplish all of you web conferencing using <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting/">MS NetMeeting</a> but Breeze comes along so much more integrated into the web. Stop worrying about ports, bandwidth and platform. Breeze is launchable through any browser that has a flash-player 4 or higher installed. Integration into the <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/home/default.aspx">Microsoft Office Suite </a>is also a snap using the power-point plugin to instantly publish Powerpoint Slides (including audio) to your Breeze server. Also with Outlook integration you can directly scedule meetings in your calendar. An additional feature I like very much is the recording of meeting (either particially or completely) to enable people who could not participate in a meeting access at their convenience. <br /> <br />Breeze is probably best suited for small to medium size teams. But altough I doubt that it's currently effective for broader audience interaction (broadcasting works great as shown multiply on Macromedia.com), I would not know a better tool for realtime collaboration.WittRaider's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05216896734950208670noreply@blogger.com
