Recently, I tested WiZiQ for an online meeting with a client, and wrote about the experience. In the comments, Pierre suggested edufire<\/a> and andy recommended showdocument<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I took a quick look at both sites. Edufire looks like it would be great for running training sessions and small classes. ShowDocument lets you upload and work on files, so that could be a good way to work with a client, without having to install anything.<\/p>\n

Bob Ryan commented that he plans to use DimDim<\/a> for his business. I set up an account there, and ran a trial meeting, which worked well, but my screen settings seem slightly different, after using their screen sharing option.<\/p>\n

For yesterday\u2019s meeting with my client, I tried Office Live Meeting<\/a> (OLM). Before the meeting, I set up a practice session, the tested the controls and settings. You can upload files, and share the screen, or a portion of the screen. Also, you can share a specific program, so that\u2019s the option I used most of the time. <\/p>\n

OLM was my favourite online meeting tool so far. I could pass the controls to my client, so we could both test the Access database that we were discussing.<\/p>\n

I had to use Internet Explorer, instead of Firefox, and there are some components to download and install. But, most people have a computer that\u2019s full of Microsoft products anyway, so that might not be too big a hurdle.<\/p>\n

Dick had volunteered<\/a> to be a guinea pig, if I tested WiZiQ again (thanks, Dick!). I\u2019ll be trying OLM again, to see how some of the fancier tools work, so may he\u2019ll agree to join that test session, if I set something up for later this week. <\/p>\n
