June 30, 2009 in Business, Technology by LwEEs

I first heard about dimdim back in December 2008, back then I never put too much thought on this product mainly because I didn’t have a need, but things have changed. dimdim just turned 5.0 and with this new version, dimdim is now better than ever. With dimdim you can host a videoconference on the web, you can share your screen with others, share documents like PowerPoint presentations, etc.
You may be asking yourself what is so special about this software? Well, to start this is not a software based service, you don’t install anything on your computer, everything happens on the web. You just have to set up the conference on your end, using a web tool, and send the invitation, that’s it. You don’t have to install anything on your computer, neither has your invitees, everyone connect using a web portal that it actually works, and if you still have questions you here is a link to a video explaining how to use the service.
With dimdim you don’t have to be an expert to create a good impression on your co-workers or friends, or investors and as if this wasn’t enough you get to host conferences with up to 20 people for free, that’s right, nada, zero, no cost at all. Just follow this link and sign up for your own free dimdim account and you are good to go. The have several levels of service starting from free to $228 a year or $19 a month.
What makes dimdim the best presentation tool, other than being free, is that you have several ways to deliver the idea to your attendees. You can chat with your attendees publicly or privately, it works almost real time video or written. When you add a presentation to the service you have control of the presentation farther than what other services allows you. You can add annotations, signs, arrows, or any type of marks to your presentation to help it stand out.
You may be asking yourself if dimdim is the right tool for you, if you have to work in a collaboration environment, show presentations to an online group, or simply show people what your next big idea is, then yes this is the right tool for you. You have nothing to lose, click on this link to sign up and start enjoying the benefits of a great, secure website that allows you to communicate with others anytime.
