Webinar/Remote Sharing for Macs?

Know More: Applications, GoToMeeting, Skype, Web-conferencing, WebEx, real-time 2.0, WebEx

I use GoToMeeting because it is relatively inexpensive and up to 10 people can meet at once. One huge drawback is that it doesn't work with Macs unless you use the corporate level, and then Mac participants can only view content - they can't share screens.

I've been told Unyte, which works with Skype, is Mac-friendly (and free for one-to-one use).

WebEx works, but is pricy for smaller businesses at $75/mo per host, minimum of 5 hosts ($375/mo) or a per-use fee of .33/minute per participant (a one-hour workshop with 9 attendees plus the host would cost $198.00).

MegaMeeting says it is platform-independent (Linux, Mac, Windows), but at $45/mo for 3 seat or $150/mo for 10, it isn't feasible for small business.

Vyew works with Macs, during Beta you can have up to 20 participants for free (they promise 2 years of free service if you sign up during Beta).

Any other possibilities that readers know of?

Haven't had a chance to try it yet - but yesterday I came across http://www.letspowwow.com/ which is supposed to work on Windows and Macs. Certainly worth a look.

GatherPlace is an inexpensive option for small business (starting at flat rate $29/mo for 5 guests) that does allow Mac users to present at any tier of service.

Microsoft Live Meeting works great with Macs and is cross platform, it also allows for remote sharing and 2 way interaction, as well as supporting the new Intel chip.

About Live Meeting - while it does work with Macs, its price puts it out of the reach of all but large business. $350/mo for 5 seats? $750/mo for 10 seats? However, Pay Per Use is $.35 per minute - so a 1 hour webinar would be $21.00, which allows unlimited seats. That price is actually quite good, although I wouldn't use it for one-on-ones.
