I second the recommendation for ustream.tv

A week or so ago there was a 2 day conference at our university.  I 
didn't attend it physically because I had a couple of important meetings 
and I wasn't that interested in most of the content.  Then I found out 
that someone had set up a video camera and was streaming some of the 
presentations on ustream.  I watched (mostly listened to) one that I was 
interested in from my desk while working on some other things.  I also 
watched the one after as well.  In that case, a woman was running a set 
of powerpoint slides for six different presenters, all presenting from 
their offices in various locations connecting in via a free video cat 
and conferencing service called ooVoo. Ustream has a simultaneous online 
chat feature and hooks into Twitter as well.  At one point someone, 
somewhere posted a question on twitter that was answered by the speaker 
in Boston.  I saw both the question and heard the answer from my desk at 
Cornell.
