Skype Journal: Host Web Conferences during Skype Conference Calls - for free!!

Now this is cool stuff. We use Microsoft Live Meeting for web conferencing now, but I think it woudl be very cool to be able to use Skype. Just seems convenient, doesn’t it?

Details:

Some key features:
• If you host the Skype/Unyte web conference, none of your participants need to download Unyte except you.
• You can currently join up to 5 people in a web conference (for now)
• No ports to forward (as with other desktop sharing apps)

No extra software downloads is a good thing as well I think. There are always some people who can’t seem to get into whatever web-conferencing software at the most inopportune time (doesn’t matter which brand you pick, either).
