Online webinar software

Speaking of my goldfish-like memory, I have completely forgotten the name of a Web 2.0 webinar application I came across a couple of months back.

I remember giving it a quick once over and thinking “Hey that’s cool” - especially since I now have a GoToMeeting appointment for this afternoon and GoToMeeting doesn’t run on a Mac!

Why oh why didn’t I blog about it? Then I’d find it in a snap here.

Anyone else know what I am talking about? (That’d be a first!!!).

UPDATE - I found it (thanks to a search in NetNewsWire!). The site I was looking for is Vyew. I originally came across Vyew via Guy Kawasaki’s review of it.

Hi Tom,

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Els De Witte and I’m the marketing manager for the Citrix Online products in the EMEA region. GoToMeeting is part of our product line. I would like to confirm to you that GoToMeeting does run on Mac.
I would like to invite you to sign up for a 30-day free trial, which you can do via our website: http://www.gotomeeting.com.

At the end of June we also launched GoToWebinar. You can find more info on this webinar solution on http://www.gotowebinar.com and if you’re interested, it would be my pleasure to give you an online demo.

If you do have any further questions or would like to discuss this, feel free to contact me on [email protected]

Els,

thanks for the invite. Your faq says:
To organize or attend a meeting, the following is required:
- Required: Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or later
- Required: WindowsÂ® 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, XP Home, XP Pro or 2003 Server
No mention of OS X or Mac compatibility anywhere.

Am I missing something?

Hi Tom,

Of GoToMeeting there is a personal and corporate version.

Our corporate version of GoToMeeting (and GoToWebinar) currently supports Mac. Important to note that this support currently only enables Mac users to view content/attend meetings. Mac users still can’t share their screen/organize meetings at this time.

The FAQs you quoted, are from our personal product. The personal version of GoToMeeting will have Mac viewer support very soon.

If you do want more information, or would like me to clarify this to you in more detail, feel free to contact me on [email protected]
