Jeff, I’ve just found your comment on how you use Webex for sharing mostly. There is a “hot new tool” out, Vyew, you should give them them a try. They don’t fully support application sharing yet, but for everything else it’s wonderful – and free. Plus it’s a very "likeable" company – see my post on why.

firtst impression is that it would be very useful. We use Netmeeting or Webex for a lot of presentations, the problem is that 80% of the time you aren’t using anything other than the “sharing” function of either of those services and quite often they don’t work flawlessly. I’m going to try this service instead, even though it doesn’t offer remote control, next time.

And, as you point out with screencasts, this is a good way to offer up secure presentations online without reverting to PDF (which is still downloadable).

That’s pretty useful.

I just had to spend like a week making screencasts and this thumbstacks could help out.

If only I could take JavaScript to display the presentation on my own site….but that’s pretty easy to implement….can just use iframes..
