Hi All I was just prompted to try Zipcast when I joined SlideShare. Maybe this is another option to check out?

On the pros it is free and available internationally. The cons are that how well it works depends on the equipment and phone line used by the parties involved and traffic at the time of call. And it also depends on how important it is to have a very good image quality, which is not so good and I wouldn't recommend doing a Crit.

Just mentioning that as this is one to watch out for!

Some of us here at Birmingham have been experimenting with join.me<http://join.me> which seems to be working well, subject to getting hold of the right telephone headsets, but we would like to know what other alternatives are worth investigating and what are their pros and cons . If you have any experience of JoinMe or similar software I would like to hear from you. I'll summarise responses.
