For us, the main frustration was showing your screen to someone who you didn't frequently collaborate with. If they didn't have WebEx installed, you would have to ask them to download and install it, create an account, and then get invited to a meeting. The whole process can take more than 10 minutes which is more than enough for most people to decide that it's not worth the trouble, especially if it's for something…
Really? It's more like "Here's a link, click on it and enter your name and e-mail address" then accept the java applet. Takes maybe 2 minutes.

#123Mind sharing what your particular frustrations with WebEx are? (Not that I'm defending the product, just curious)

#124Only gripe, the window re-sizing wasn't working properly. Once I re-sized it once (width-wise), it didn't let me re-size it any more, only move it around.
Otherwise, very easy to use product

#127Is it typical for tablet and smartphone browsers to have a java run time environment? Mine does not.
Tested and working well. This will come in handy.

#128Nicely done, but there are few issues from the top of my head. 1. Security - this should really be going over SSL. In fact, the whole site needs to be SSL'd. 2. P2P - I bet you are not P2P, and you won't be able to be P2P if you keep the viewer in the confines of the browser. However, the client-to-client traffic really needs to go peer to peer. It's an absolute must. This is what keeps the cost of running the servic…
1) This is in the works. 2) We are currently not P2P but that is one direction that we are considering for a future complementary product. We have done some calculations and believe that it is possible to make service economically viable (even with free basic usage) but it remains to be seen if we are right. 3) Unfortunately, it is not possible to implement a sharing application purely in Flash because it does not pr…

So how do you make money?

#130Doesnt seem to work on my Lion with the latest Java installed
Me either, exact same setup. This happened to me on http://keepvid.com as well; that site runs on a java plugin as well. I'm happy that it isn't just me (I was actually scanning the comments to see if anyone ran into this problem), but I really would like a solution to this. If anyone finds one, let me know!
