Personal Review 

Beam Your Screen ® offers a nice desktop sharing service to customers.  I can definitely see this as a good alternative to a service like NetMeeting ®.  I am particularly impressed with its versatility in pricing options.  However, the fact that the service does not come with audio shows it is not a complete web conferencing option.  Therefore, most customers may be better off choosing a bundled application that incorporates the audio.  Still, if you would like to visit their website, you can at www.beamyourscreen.com.
