One of the best things about a WebEx is the ability to share you desktop.
It lets the person you are talking to see exactly what you are talking about. And in my case, it often means I can edit a PowerPoint while my colleague is on the phone looking at the slide and watching me work my magic (while pointing out every time I make a typo!).
It's fast, efficient and even kind of fun. I know it has saved me hours of collaboration time and eliminated a lot of misunderstandings (ever been on a telecon and you simply can't understand what the other person means?).
Here's a quick look at desktop sharing to show you how it works...
Still not convinced? You can try WebEx absolutely free and see what you think.
Here's a really important thing to know - asking someone to join you in a WebEx is an easy thing to do. When you use the trial, simply invite the person you want to meet with (you will get instructions) and they can click and join. They don't have to have anything except a browser. You don't have to use the WebEx bridge unless you need a bridge - you can simply call your colleague and work together in WebEx to get the job done.
