San Francisco, CA and the web


I use ReadyTalk for many of our conference calls. It's not free, but it is available on TechSoup. This is also the platform we use for our webinars, though I often only use the teleconference part of it. I've found it to work better than Skype for bigger calls with more than 3 attendees, as more than one person can talk at once. However, we've had trouble getting a lot of interference with other lines, so often times each person must mute their line until they speak to cut down on this (hence, eliminating a lot of the mentioned advantage).
What would be the benefit of having a private vs public pin as in Arkadin? Trying to get my head around how you could use this feature.
Foonz looks really cool. In particular, I like that it will also allow you to send a text message to everyone in the group, so folks can easily dial-in from a mobile number. Also you can leave a group voicemail. That would come in handy especially for when a meeting is cancelled and/or location or other details change. And the (free) price is right!
