Web Conferencing: Go To Meeting

I used a free trial of GoToMeeting to set up a web conferencing session. Along with standard voice chat, the software gave me the option to chat with other attendees within the application, to share my screen, and also to share my webcam for video. With the screen sharing, I could also use it as a whiteboard and make "marks" on the screen with a highlighter and a pen tool, and it has a spotlight like a laser pointer that I could use to draw attention to certain areas on the screen. It also gives the option to record the meeting. This would be really useful for a lot of different applications. I've never done any kind of web conferencing, so this was a new experience for me, and was really interesting.
