I would like to give a powerpoint presentation to someone over the
internet...what are my options?

Basically, I would like to control the slides while the other person is
watching it.
 
Hi Scott,

You could use WebEx to do this, I believe there website is
http://www.webex.com or search for a company with a product called
Presentation Manager. I'm quite sure there product supports the feature you
are requesting.

Regards,
Christer

While PowerPoint allows you to save a presentation as website (HTML), you
cannot control what they see, because that enables them to browse through
the presentation on their own.

To show them a presentation you should have a look a Microsoft Live Meeting,
a software to make webcasts. There you can invite 2 to 1000+ participants
and show them your presentation, documents, etc. (The program is free, but
you need to pay for a server that hosts your meeting and your documents. On
Microsoft's website you find free trial offers.)

Best regards,

Thank you all.

Could I host the meeting from my own domain with any of these products?

Rather than give you a bad answer because I misunderstood the question, two
things:

1) How GoToMeeting works:
I start a meeting and invite you. You go to a URL that I mail you, log in, it
downloads some benign software to your system and you can then view whatever I've
chosen to show you from my desktop. That might be the entire screen, or just a
specific application (PPT, for example) or any of several other possibilities.
What you see is whatever's shared on my PC. I don't have to upload files to
another site or anything.

2) You can sign up for a GTM account and get a free month to try it out. They're
pretty confident that you'll like it. <g>

OBTW, you can also use another of their services: each meeting invite includes a
phone number you and other attendees can dial into for a conf. call. One thing to
be aware of: this is a regular long distance call for everybody involved, not a
free service. The calls will be to some area code in North Dakota or the like, so
if you or your customers watch their phone bills carefully, might want to warn
 
Thank you for the input.

I found a free utility that works perfectly for my low-end use. It's
ScreenStream from nchsoftware.com
