My inbox is filling up with companies letting me know what educators are getting, some I had missed. (Also, a few have told me they'll be announcing ad-free sites in the next week, but I cannot share it yet. I will when I can.)
Here is a biggie…

This is nice. Another very interesting one is Yugma (www.yugma.com). They offer free web conferencing and desktop sharing. They launched an Education program earlier this year and are now plugged into a number of large universities. Also recently started working with classroomrevolution.com . I’ve been using Yugma for a while and fine it works great. I can invite up to 10 other people for free. Very stable, fast, and very very easy. I highly recommend people check them out.
