A modification of this, which I was introduced to at the DC meetup, is for each person to display a number of fingers--the first person to want to speak 'takes' number 1, and then the second person takes number 2, and so on. This gives you a queue to follow afterwards, without needing a moderator (but also doesn't get the benefit of intelligent moderation).
