I saw the announcement of a free conferencing system combining Skype and regular telephone callers, and which which also allows web controls for the moderator.

Perhaps something for domainers to try, to have group voice chats periodically?

This sounds great.... we need details, but we can setup bi-weekly or monthly chats.

Great idea!

This solutions allows for up to 500 callers (vs 5 or 10 for normal Skype), and also has European call-in numbers (unlike other systems where it's only US phone numbers) for those who don't use Skype. I've not tried it out personally, but it seems very promising.

BTW, it would add a new dimension to the scheduled domain auctions.

That would be awesome...I would certainly be interested.

I also just found https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/home although it doesn't have all the features of the above.

Sweet. I know some members have contacted me by phone but it would be interesting to do a live chat or even a live phone auction.

Nice idea! I just tried out high speed conferencing in a room I set up. It seems to be quite an impressive service.

freeconferencecalls.com and other systems like that still require one to pay long distance charges to the phone number. With the Skype integration, though, the highspeedconferencing.com can be totally free.

This could be the start we have been looking for. We of course would have to make sure that this could be controled fully or it wil get out of control with almost 30,000 members ..

I know that. I have unlimited long distance, and recently was on a "Free Conference" call. It seemed to work real nice, but I see the point that not everyone would want to pay long distance. That could get expensive.
