What I love about GoToMeeting by Citrix is how EASY it is to host a video meeting. Meaning, you can host and your guest(s) doesn’t have to install a big program or anything like that. They simply click, download a little applet that takes pretty much 5 seconds, and boom they are on talking with you in crystal clear HD video thanks to HD Faces. Want to check it out for free?
