One key feature that seems to be missing in just about all of the online reviews of "web Conferencing" applications is the weighting of features. Whilst I obviously understand the limited "expertise" of most reviewers - products like GoToMeeting from Citrix should be in a completely separate category, i.e. Webinar Software. Here are the Wikipedia definitions:

Web conferencing is used to conduct live meetings, training, or presentations via the Internet. In a web conference, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants via the internet. This can be either a downloaded application on each of the attendees' computers or a web-based application where the attendees access the meeting by clicking on a link distributed by e-mail (meeting invitation) to enter the conference.

A webinar is a neologism to describe a specific type of web conference. It is typically one-way from the speaker to the audience with limited audience interaction, such as in a webcast.

I feel that the editor's web conferencing software review was very detailed and useful but I do feel obliged to comment about their rating of Nefsis.

I use this platform as a basis for teaching English on-line (having recently upgraded for the earlier and limited ePOP system). The editor's technical comments are fair and accurate but their assessment of the cost is not.

The true cost is buried in the way the licensing agreement works - and believe me, I've assessed most of the platforms you reviewed. Nefsis allows me to transfer my user licences bewteen my teachers - in other words the licence is not locked down to a specific user. This is not the case with other platforms, notably your No 1 choice, GoToMeeting, who are very expensive if you want multiple users acting as the conference host.

Nefsis will also allow me to integrate (via an SDK) the conferencing system with our Learning Management System - GoToMeeting won't.
I just thought I would try and set the record straight.
