    Thanks for your article, but...
    Universal Messenger Plus tried to install casino software and other malware on my computer!.
    Took me quite some time to get rid of it!
    I think you should not recommend such apps unless you've tried to insall them yourself...

    Willem,

    thanks a million for spotting this. I do test and try out most of these
    myself, but you really got me on this one.
    I am sincerely sorry about this, will remove this tool from the list and
    will make sure that I or Nico will not add any tool unless we have fully
    tested it against these negative risks.

    Again, thanks a million for spotting this and my sincere apologies for the
    frustration I have caused you.

    Very neat stuff, stixy looks very cool. I like the ability to organize everything myself. For video conferencing you should also check out ooVoo which I use. It allows for six people to video conference. My favorite feature is that you can record and send video, which is nice when you're away from the family.

    Love the site by the way, keep up the good work

    I am using ooVoo already . Its really great .. Video works faster than any other IM tools and its super simple to use . I would like to see some emoticons on ooVoo.

    All of these solutions are good for what they do. They are good solutions for consumer level, or very low-level conferencing needs. Unfortunately with most of these tools, all users need to either have an account, or have the software installed. If you are looking to have a larger conference, or webinar, or just looking to be able to send someone a link to your conference and have them get right in without having to download or sign up for something, then definitely check out www.ganconference.com as they have the reliability that you would want for a business level of service.

    Good luck,

    Anthony
