Cross-platform virtual meetings

[Charles Jones]

Some things that I have tried that work cross platform, mostly because

ustream - http://www.ustream.tv - works well for one-to-many broadcasting
mebeam - http://www.mebeam.com - multipoint conferencing
stickam - http://www.stickam.com - multipoint conferencing
