I’ve been using Persony for several months and it’s great, when it works. The issue I have is it somehow conflicts with my Vonage line. I use persony primarily to collaborate remotely with other developers. Solve a problem together, get a second set of eyes on some code, review sections of code etc. The point is I’m usually on my vonage line at the same time and the calls drop frequently. Annoying as hell.

Guy mentioned another tool recently called vyew. While they’re working on a desktop sharing feature that I wasn’t able to get working, this is more of a collaboration tool so it isn’t in direct competition with persony. The twist with vyew is it’s always on approach. It’s like a boardroom meeting you run and then leave around for weeks after. People who miss the meeting can stop by whenever they like. It’s also free, currently, and requires no software install. Check it out.
