If any of you use gotomeeting, you need to go to this page if you want to activate the new HD Faces Videoconference feature. It's free and pretty cool: http://goo.gl/UVynt

Thanks for this @MarkChinsky. I remember seeing this around but your link prompted me to install it and test it out. Now that G+ has screenshare, goto meeting better step up their game big time. BTW - has anyone noticed the new ""feature"" of goto meeting? If you kill the goto session, it kills your conference line. Unbelievably stupid from a customer standpoint. If you never start the actual meeting on the PC, you can use the conference line as much as you want. But if you start the PC portion of the meeting and end it, it says ""The organizer has eneded the meeting."" <CLICK> Annoying.

whats g+?

I have no idea why you have to go out of your way to activate this free feature. It should just be pushed out automatically. I wonder if they want to minimize the bandwidth use to only those that are really looking

Google +, Google's version of group meetings. Robert had to invite me. Not sure if that still is the case. We've used it a couple of times with fairly good success.

@MarkChinsky - @JeffSchwenk is right G+ is lazy man's Google+. Hangouts is video enabled chat and they just released screen share within the last week or two. Pretty darn nice. Now they need to work out the kinks where Google Docs users (most business users) have to have a separate G+ account. (Stupid.) And good point. Why do you have to activate the free feature? And why do they make such a big deal about ""if you upgrade your system, you won't easily be able to downgrade""? Good lord. It's a freaking feature on an existing service and they are acting like it's a brand new piece of software. Doesn't give me much hope that they understand how to compete in today's fast moving technology world.
