We stumbled across a free alternative to GoToMeeting or Webex called Yugma. True to Web 2.0 form they offer a free ‘limited’ account and then charge for advanced features.

Yugma is compatible with Windows, OS X, and Linux. It only took a few seconds to set up an account and I successfully had my mom on the other end of a web demo in less than 5 minutes (which speaks to the simple nature of the software). If you have any intent to demo a software product or need an online collaboration tool that allows you to remotely control a desktop you should try Yugma.
