Free Conferencing On Yahoo Messenger
Yahoo is offering free conferencing calling for users of their text and VoIP IM (Instant Messaging) client, Yahoo! Messenger. The service is called ConFreeCall and is sourced from Vapps, Inc.
However, unlike other soft VoIP clients such as Skype, you have to download something to do conference calls. The conferences will reputedly be able to handle up to 500 participants on one call, and one person can act as moderator by announcing participants and controlling volumne, etc.. [via eWeek]
The moderator function is a definite plus. As I've mentioned previously, something like Roberts Rules of Order is necessary for successful moderation of conference calls.
