Notes:
 * 1) Adobe Connect has lousy sound quality, so we frequently use Skype/teleconference for the audio and Adobe Connect for screen sharing/video.
 * 2) Skype supports screen sharing, but it sometimes freezes, and may not work for a conversation with more than 2 people.
 * 3) iChat is better than Skype when video is used. However, it only works when all participants are using Macs.
 * 4) Google Hangouts are useful, all participants can see slides and converse. Everyone must have a Google+ account.
 * 5) http://Join.Me shows promis, but we haven't tested it yet.
