Too Many Meetings, Too Little Time


I scheduled a few meetings last fall as conference calls through FreeConference and it worked really well as an option.  No money spent on gas and no time spent away from the office.  It is just that convenient and so Green. The organizer simply signs up for a phone number online and emails attendees with instructions to call that number at the specified meeting time.   Another online company is GoToMeeting - they offer expanded options that aren't free but webinars and presentations are included. And you can have a free trial. Other online free sites are TotallyFreeConferenceCalls, Foonz and InstantConference. Basic conferencing calls are usually always free.
