Dim Dim - a free open-source web conferencing app

Easy, Open & Affordable! That's Dim Dim. I was searching for a free web conferencing application and then Dim Dim happened. There is a WebEx trial and I have tried Adobe Connect in the past but Dim Dim appears to be a better solution. Dim Dim free supports web conferencing with upto 20 people (audio and video). For anyone who intends to use web conferencing (even sporadically) this defintely looks to be a great tool. I tried Dim Dim out today and was pretty impressed with this freeware. All it took was 2-3 minutes to get started. Video turns on by default and sending out invites and organizing the meeting couldn't get more easier. There were three options - Share Desktop, White board and Share a Presentation. I only tried 'Share Desktop' and it was seamless. Overall, it looks very promising and I was mighty impressed.

  1. Conferencing Software is the latest in global communication. Its been hot for a while now but has just gone into another gear. Hundreds of companies and products based on conferencing are popping up all over the net. It takes a little getting use to trying to focus on the camera to engage your audiance properly but is way worth it compared to offline meetings. The costs you can save are huge.
