circumvented or replaced old, cumbersome and expensive

technology that works great and is often free.

(how does it work withMacs? Web-based meetings used to be done by MicrosoftLive– I used it for team meetings when remote. Cool feature changes video to who is talking. (mac people tend to flip out when you say “Microsoft”)FuzeMeeting seems overall very nice for smaller group meetings, and is only $15 month on low end. Can connect to a meeting from computer, smart phone, table, or any thing that has internet access. Nothing to download, no software or hardware. You can connect your yammer account to FuzeMeeting so that meetings get linked to your yammer network. share pertinent content and recordings from your meetings with selected recipients in your Yammer Network.Costs range, depending on what you want, how many people can call in, etc. Low end costs for 100 people is 49-99/month Freeconference.com – doesn’t provide 800 #, so you may be charged for the long distance call (most people are unlimited now, no issue)
